Tim
I am curious about why you advocate taking the impeller out. Won't
antifreeze drain out of your engine when you take the cover off the
water pump?

Change oil
Check Coolant / change if necessary

Run anti-freeze though engine (capture and dispose of properly) I’m
not brave enough to simply drain it !
Remove impeller and store with engine key

Hi Doug,
Third GTA winter coming up and I have not yet run the red stuff
through windstar's engine. (IIRC the manual does not mention doing
this) What I have done is drain the water lock muffler and raw water
strainer, remove the hoses to the water pump, then drain the block
through the two valves on the engine block. (access under the galley
sink) Blow any water out though the water pump hose.
Not sure whether that's optimal or not....
Anyway, If I were to use the red stuff, (and I may) I would drain
everything first so I could be sure that the antifreeze was not too
diluted.
It really is a good time to look in on the water pump impeller..
I would also check the specific gravity of the coolant to ensure its
freeze point is low enough. You can get a tester at Crappy tire for
this for less than $10.
Top up the batteries with distilled water.

It's my first year with the 2GM20F and it's almost time to winterize
it. Is there anything I need to do other running anti freeze through
the fresh water intake until it comes out the exhaust??
Cheers,Doug
