    Default Coolant Capacity

    Can someone verify the coolant capacity fo the 4.0? My Haynes book says 12.5 quarts. Yesterday when I was filling it up with Engine Ice I could only get 6 quarts in. One of two things could have happened 1 I did not drain it all the way or it could be air locked.

    I saw in the book after the fact that there is a block drain on the exhaust side. You are probably right about the water. After I flushed the system I undid the upper radiator hose and ran the engine until no water was coming out just steam.
