any body running them?? ive been going back and forth between the cat elc, jd elc (which im almost sure is the same) and the amsoil coolant. anybody know of metal compatibilities with theese? or any other problems? ive gota coolant filter too. i just dont want to deal with the sca's and i gotta replcae my coolant housing its leaking and im gonna put a 203 in there while im in there.

 

The only compatability issues I've heard about with the ELC's in the OBS trucks is with rubber seals, and I have no idea how accurate that information is. Didn't even know that Amsoil had a coolant. Never seen a negative post about Cat ELC that I can remember.

 

yeah they just came out with it a year ago or so. its like 16 a gallon. i havent priced the motorcraft gold. the cat and jd elc are about 15-20 a gallon too. i wonder what other seals can be in there. i was worried about the metal compatibility the most.

 

well i foundit on baz's site it says ford says no propelyne glycol. i guess ill go premium gold ford coolant.

 

Yeah...that backed up on that stance with the 99-01 trucks. Didn't exactly say it is ok to use it, but allowed that it would not hurt it if you did. On the 94-97 they still say no, so there must be something different with the systems between years. I don't know what that difference is.

 

It might be a good idea to ask International about the type of antifreeze that should be used

 

thats a good idea ill get ahold of the ih dealer this morning. if i remember correctly they use a elc in there trucks too im thinkin i got a bucket truck rental a while back that was a mid 90's with gold coolant in it.

The answer to your coolant additives is CAT EXTENDED LIFE COOLANT. This is a premixed coolant for all engines with cavitations problems. Just flush out other coolant. Takes approx 5 1/2 gals @ approx $6.00 per gal. All the info is under CATERPILLAR'S WEB SITE www.cat.com Check with any Heavy Equipment or Road Truck dealer, most carry. This coolant is good for 300,000 miles do not add water or additives.
