The yellow picture doesn't have a "X" on it. Then to confuse matters, the sticker on the reservoir has a lil picture with orange coolant with a big ol' "X" over it like they're sayin it's bad to use orange. When I swapped the radiator, my detective eye noticed there was a orange kinda filmy slimy rusty slop all up in the surfaces of the hoses. and that we need to "keep an eye on it." I'm thinkin the previous owner might a used some nasty head gasket sealer or done flood rusted the whole vehicle out and swapped a new engine into it. and that they didn't understand why that is. I think they said they put yellow stuff in it) but they said "now after the coolant flush, it's surprisingly back to orange, again, anyhow.". The last time coolant was put in it, a professional did it, but afterwards they were sayin all this confusing stuff to me about how they didn't expect it to be orange (that they didn't use orange stuff. and I heard if you put the wrong kind of coolant in there, it's likely to cause deadly consequences. Cuz I dont even know what kind is in there right now. now I'm head scratchin' on what type o coolant to put back in it. there outta be a way to remove those hoses without it 'splodin all over damn near blinded myself. ( By the way, nobody told me I was gone get transmission fluid all over the dang place. but half the old stuff is still sittin in the engine behind the thermostat (right?). I drained the old radiator slop out like your'e supposed to. Just slapped a new radiator in my trusty steed - a ford e150 1998 with a 5.4 in it.
