Wow! thats the smartest thing ive heard in weeks, one last question, well i dont have any SCA test strips but the antifreeze that is currently in my radiator looks like mt. drew which from what ive been reading is NOT the antifreeze you want in there, so what is the most effective way to get all of coolant out of the block without making a mess. Im sure its not good to leave the old coolant in the block?

Any big truck dealership will have the correct antifreeze-be it Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbuilt, International, etc. Any truck stop will also carry the correct coolant. Any large diesel engine manufacturer service center-Detroit Diesel, Cummins, Caterpillar will carry the correct coolant. Most will carry test strips for coolant also.
