it calls for 50/50 dexcool/water. pure water cools best but doesnt provide lubrication for the pump. i run 20/80 dexcool/water, i noticed almost 10 degree temp drops over 50/50

qwikredline

I run distilled water and water wetter and a trace of dexcool; water wetter label suggests 10% dexcool as well. home run= sharkey

it does depend on were you live, it gets bellow freezing were i am so when it starts getting cold ill switch back to 50/50. its easy to do (drop the line off the pump and let it drain out).

i run pure water/water wetter all year long in the HE, and the engine runs 1/3 dexcool, 2/3 water, and a bottle of water wetter

Winkdogydog101

ok im running about 40/60 and im higher i bleed as best i could but there is still some in my friend said if i ran it it will come to the top and just fill some more and in like a week it will run fine.

second people on local c net are telling me that you can put the green coolant in it and that it is better in the heat exchanger then dexcool is this truth i didnt really have money or wetter water but i prolly well flush it all out and run pure wetter water or would it just be better to add one bottle or what?

also near the left side of the head light there is an extra plug that has a nipple like head and is L bent i wondering what this is has green rubber band around it?

i think its a map sensor do i need it pluged in somewhere or what do i do with it its just danging

your IC pump is probably shot if you are seeing temps that high. Dexcool is the coolant GM uses on our cars, you can find it at autozone and most other parts stores.

really the ic pump is that what people agree to the top resovar is moving the stuff

use some grammar and we'll be able to help you. as of right now though, i have no idea what youre asking in the above quote.

Winkdogydog101

well sorry sometimes i dont think using proper english anywho the ic pump as far as my mech skill is not broken since i toped off the h/e and its moving when the dexcool i think i didnt get all the air out my friend said if i lift the front in and let it run with the cap off if i fill as the air comes up ill top off the small air pockets i might still have in it

^^ marginally more legible. at least i can understand you now
idk if what you're friend is saying will work. i would just go with the recommended topping off the filler neck route.

OP use 100% distilled water. I used that year round and it works great. I saw a 12-15 degree drop in IAT's when I changed it.

And you are hard to understand but, did you recently change to a dual pass, different h/e, or drain all the fluid out? You should not have air in the system unless you had a leak and the level went way down or you changed a part and the fluid was removed.

I agree with hockeyman, IC pump is shot if you are at 190. When mine was shot I saw 200 before I replaced it.. That is scary.

so here in maryland it can get below freezing so i should prob keep it 50/50?

SCcobaltSS

iTrader: (2)

yes, you can change to 100% distilled in the summer but need 50/50 for the winter to prevent freezing.

Winkdogydog101

**** im working on getting ottp kit how much is the ic pump and how do i know its bad what if its air pockets?

SCcobaltSS

You should see fluid rushing pass the filler neck. This was easily mistaken by me when I checked because the vibration of my car made it look like the fluid was rushing past the neck.

If the car is on and been running for a little, open the filler neck a little, I believe if the pump is working then the fluid should flash up toward the cap, then quickly screw it back on so it doesnt overflow and burn you. Someone correct me if I am wrong on this one.

Also do you still have a warranty? Mine was covered..

if the coolant is bubbling like river rapids in the neck your pumps not dead if its flowing like a soft stream it's dead.
you live in arizona so until hell freezes over just put distilled water in it.
please use better grammar or noone is going to want to help you in the future /thread.

Winkdogydog101

hey it is running through but and when i top of the resovor it goes up and down pretty fast and no offance but sorry my spellings not that great but go f your self i know 99% of the people get what im saying and asking

daythecountrydied21

is english not your first language?
I sure hope not lol..
you tell me to go f myself when I give you the straight answer? **** you.
I didn't say I couldn't understand what you were saying it makes your ******* head hurt trying to read your scrabble.

anyways..like i said. if it's not bubbling really good your pumps dead..
