How much Coolant?
Got my new radiator in, and am ready to install it, but was wondering what the mixture is for dexcool, and for the supercharger, i dont know how much if any coolant is left in the engine, i dont know if you have to add water or straight dexcool. Sorry im a body guy myself, dont know crapt about coolant adding and what mixtures so any help would be greatly apprecaited thank you

the point of the coolant/antifreeze is to increase the boiling point and decrease the freezing point of the water... so technically, you can run 100% water, as long as you don't go near 100C or 0C.

When you forget about it and then it freezes the next winter and blows the radiator, you will wish you had mixed it right the first time. And if you do remember to drain and refill before winter, you are gona pay for the coolant again. I noticed your from PA.

Dont listen to them... Lol. Straight water with some water wetter. What is all this freezing people are talking about? Lol
Note: Dont really do straight water where you live, it might not turn out the same as where I live and never see freezing temperatures. Lol
