Re: Half million mile milestone.
I try to keep my coolant super safe. My coolant mixture is usually good to minus 40 degrees and a bit alkaline (anti-acid). I keep a few ounces of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) on board in a small zip lock. If coolant is added, baking soda is added ... to the point of having a very slight white residue on surfaces of overflow reservoir, no more. I believe baking soda helps keep the internals clean and corrosion-free. But try at your own risk!!

Re: Half million mile milestone.
Just to add to 12Ounce, my '96 Windstar just turned over 400,000 a few months ago. It was such a momentous occasion that I pulled over & took pictures of the odometer. I think if I make it to 500,000 I might need to turn the car into a monument.
I've found that my Windstar has started to experience failure to things that rarely break on a car... for example my speedometer cable failed, a few injectors have failed (the last two only acted up when they were hot), and my persistent but very odd and very inconsistent P0741 code. Onward and upward! |

Re: Half million mile milestone.
Now I'm on way to 600K I suppose. I had wanted to buy a new large Lincoln, but am reading some discouraging news about Lincoln's reliability ....
Does anyone here have info about Lincoln's quality ? |

Congratulation! Mine 2000 Now 320000 miles. Bought used 210000 miles. Initially I had some driveability issues. Thanks to the forum and all members like you wisiwind notably, and my own diagnostic scanner stopped depending upon mechanics, I fixed them all. I installed after market 10 inch wifi android 8 Chinese head unit 100 $, front camera and back camera. Easy parking and easy navigation with google maps. I had to repaint it. It is solid no rust. No CEL. Dont like anyother car. Enjoyed 1000 mile drive with Good Working AC. Heater actuator replaced once the used a wire to control but now replaced with metallic gears aftermarket used in Ford Transit. I bought them from ebay UK. Tranny is original, head gasket and valves changed once all the cooling system radiator, bottle, bottle cover, y pipes heater core both radiator fans and rubber pipes behind the engine with T replaced with plumbing simple metal T. :runar ound: |
