Thanks for all the valuable advice from all of you that have owned and work on these trucks for a living. I still wonder why dieselsite would make this stuff sound so tempting. I will still be using products from their site for coolant and tranny filtration but will def stay away from the Evans coolant. So the Ford gold or Zerex GO5 is the general concensus for the best coolant to use ? Thanks again

When you flush your system by the book every 50,000 miles with VC-9 etc.

That is, the 4-6 hour flush / clean job....

When you check nitride levels as per Ford recommendation...

When you use distilled water....

This is your safest (and known good) bet.

For all I know, the other stuff may be fantastic, but it is an uncertified / unapproved solution.

You own the vehicle, and you pay the bills if it blows up.
