Thanks guys, it is the rea474r wheel drive and that is what I am used to driving in the winters up here. I will test the cooling system on friday when I have a day off, I am also going to clean the radiator and probably flush it also at that time. Then start looking at the plugs to see what we have there.
Thanks for the tips guys, any others would be appreciated as this is the 1st ford I am actually going to do the work myself on, I am a chevy man
