Re: what coolant?

If your poo is orange, you have bigger problems than coolant :). Did I read that Water Wetter is a no-no on these trucks?

Re: what coolant?

water wetter is fine, just don't use too much or it'll foam and not help with cooling as much

What is too much? I was reading an old "how to go fast for cheap" syty mod list, and they said Water Wetter is a big no. Seemed wierd to me at the time, wanted to check before I use the stuff.

I use about 25% prestone with 75% distilled water.

What temp is that rated to? It gets pretty cold up here, don't wanna crack a block/intercooler

I wouldn't gamble with dexcool.If you do a google search on dexcool,you will see what I mean.GM is still using it though,on new vehicles.Go figure.

Re: what coolant?

i call BS about that orange stuff...
there was nobody on this board that posted a fact.
So... please post facts.

the main thing about this storie is that normal cooling fluid is way more expensive than that orange stuff, and if you think that your local part store is making 45% profit on this.. they rather sell you the expensive stuff.

Here is a fact.
i run that orange stuff in my engine.
Spun a main bearing one time. LOL

my heatercore is still doing it's work.. (not leaking)
my engine doesn't get hot
and this fluid doesn't make my block rust from the inside if i don't change it withing the next 5 years
ANd my temps are way cool, and stay that way (73 degree)

what would dexcool do with your engine? blow it up? self explode?

You can buy a tester for like $5 to test it. I think mine is good to 0 deg F or so.
