Coolant
Am going to redo Oil cooler o'ring seals and was curious what you guys think best coolant would be. It has green in it right now any reason I could not switch to cat extended coolant or is it even worth it?

Yes, i would not run regular green. Our trucks need certain levels of SCA's (system coolant additives) to prevent cavitation. If youd like some more info on it, a search on it will come up with tons of info. I belive the CAT stuff comes recharged, as does Fleetcharge and i think the John Deer stuff does too.

So does the fleet charge or cat come premixed? I currently use international dc-14 I think is what it's called with three gallons conc. coolant and three gallons distilled water. Any how thanks for reply I will do a search as well.

Ok thanks I will probably use the 4 gallons fleetcharge. I use the fleetguard oil filters and have had good luck.
