No chemicals, just draining the radiator, filling with distilled water, running the car with heat on high and repeating 4 times., then filling the radiator with dexcool.

Took 6 cars for my nephew to learn to NOT use radiator flush.

Not wise, the M1 chucks the brass backwards, and it is hot

Not bad for standing on your head ;)

Hey Rick (or anyone else that wants to impart knowledge),

The coolant talk from a couple of posts back got me thinking. Do you have an opinion on waterless coolant?

I saw a Wheeler Dealers show recently, and Ed was banging on about it. It got me interested and I'm still doing the interwebs research.

Rick V 01-06-2013 03:04 PM

Thats a new one by me, I have used coolantless water and water wetter but never the other way around

We had a snow storm for Christmas Day. We were going to go up after that but other things got in the way. The MIL Had an appt in the city so we just waited until she got here to finish Christmas 2012.

My 911 has no water in the cooling system.

Rick V 01-06-2013 03:19 PM

Both of mine are the same way now that I think about it

hehe

It seems to be an interesting technology, although expensive. But when you weigh it up;
A once off expense for the life of the engine (no more flush and fills),
No corrosion,
Cooler running temp (more efficient coolant),
Temp range -40C to 180C

The more I read about it them more I'm considering giving it a go.

Post a link or three

Uh-oh, I just found an article that makes it very unattractive to use.

Here's a couple of waterless coolant manufacturers. They all seem to blow the wind up their own arses, and the negative article comes from a coolant manufacturer that has a vested interest in making the waterless tech look bad.

I'm trying to find an independent test article to get an unbiased opinion.

Afternoon chaps...

I finally got the lights working properly on my demo trailer, the toolbox latching properly, and the generator full of gas.... Ready to hit the road and go sell some stuff in the morning....

Outback Porsche 01-06-2013 04:02 PM

I wonder how much Evans pays Leno to endorse their product?
