Hello everyone,
When performing a "home-made" coolant flush, how do I drain the coolant reservoir? I used Super-Tech (Wal-mart brand) coolant. Is that ok? I comapred ingredients with Prestone and they are exactly the same.
Thanks,
Jamie

 

Not sure if yours is the same but , mine is in 3 notches , lift a little then push out if notch-sideways to get out , then just dump .

Thanks

Anyone else???

 

Not to hijack your thread or anything, but what antifreeze are most people using in these trucks?

 

Zerex G-05 HOAT type. You can use they Mopar or even....Ford gold coolant. They are all the HOAT type. If you like the standard green, I suppose just use it and flush and fill more often.

 

Flush and fill every 2 years right??

 

From what I understand and read you are ONLY supposed to use HOAT anti-freeze in your cummins motor.coobie

 

what is hoat antifreeze I thought zerex go-5 was diesel antifreeze

 

The crysler anti-freeze has hoat in it,which is for the cummins motor,when I bought my gallon last year crysler dealerships were the only ones who had it.My stock number on this container are 05066386aa.There might be someone else who is making it by now.coobie

 

hi coobie what is so special about the hoat, do yo know ,also how is your revo tires holdind up I need tires in spring do you have pros and cons yet

 

Not sure whats so special about the hoat,dealer told me thats what I need to use to keep my engine warrenty intact.I love my revos verses the stock michelins,they go a hellava lot better in the snow & mud and just as quiet,there holding up great.coobie

 

HOAT is the type of coolant. Hybrid Organic Acid Technology

It is an extended drain interval coolant.

 

Not much help here, but since I never had good luck doing cooling system flushing, I just took the truck into the dealer for this thing.
