How old is that coolant? I started using Rotella red ELC in my F150 and Ranger. The factory LL fill is well past due for a flush in that F150, that muddy color is rust because the corrosion inhibitors have been used up. Not a huge deal but you will have to flush the system and probably have a professional do it to get rid of all the sediment that is now reducing coolant flow and overheating your engine. Don't blame Ford for your lack of preventative maintenance.

I would go to Autozone, Advance Auto, etc. Get the cooling system pressure tester from their loaner tool program. Youtube a video how to use it. After the test you will know if you got a leak somewhere or rusty water.

I blame Ford for the explorer transmission. Junkyards are littered with explorers with garbage transmissions. Hence the class action lawsuit against them a few years back. My truck issues, probably my fault.

When you say have a professional do the coolant flush, does oil change place count?
