are you REALLY expecting to run truck that hard? if system is in good or better than good condition, you should have no over heating problem. i don't think you will hurt anything, but, what are you going to gain?
naw petey aint gonna run it that hard . gotta remember im still a bit of a flatty rookie . my mind still works in the late model frame most of the time . it gets pretty warm here and was thinking it might be a good thing to raise the boiling point , but thats why i asked so i could here from you guys . so it sounds like a goofy idea , so we dont do it and move ahead .

I've got two words for you: Wetter Water. Ever heard or used it? I've run it in all my vehicles. O'reilly's or Auto-Zone should have it, go see and read the bottle. I would
