i know that theres a dexcool mix in there from the factory. i've read a few posts suggesting that people get rid of the dexcool but no info on what to use in its place.

is this a bad idea? if not, what is a better cooling fluid?

 

Plain water with Water Wetter, if temperature is not an issue.

 

i wrote a how to on this.

do not use tap water.
distilled is prefered.

 

I was pming a kid and he said he put that in his heat exchanger and it was bubbleing up and causeing it to not cool it down cause of the pump.

 

Someone's gonna be dumb and ask why....

Soooo....
Tap water has minerals and stuff in it. It will scale and leave deposits in the heat exchanger.

 

Does anyone know how many quarts the ss/sc holds?

 

oil?
coolant?
brake fluid?
beer?

 

lmfao beer, do we have to use only chevys coolant for our h/e?

 

nope. im using dasinai<sp> water in mine. my car has a better diet than i do.

go figure.

this winter, it is getting the green stuff put in it.

I've heard of bad things happening over time with the dex cool in there.
