Super Tech ELC CAT EC-1

Saw this at Walmart today. Looks to be a viable cheap, readily available alternative to the popular TSC Rotella ELC.

Me too. I'll get around to doing a coolant change some day. (I know, poor cooling system maintenance here) Dad actually provided a new acessory drive belt, dual alternator upper hose, and a few gallons of coolant with the truck, but he had been sitting on them for a while and the truck didn't seem to need it yet. It was the regular OE replacement stuff, I know the ELC is prefered, but this was provided so was going to use it. Unfortunately a mouse got to and chewed through a few of the coolant bottles. Since I'll need to buy more, might as well make the switch and I'll be happy to save a few bucks in the process.

ELC is not good for certain years 7.3s... It dissolves the retaining compound on the nozzles.

Peak Fleet Charge is what you want. Its safe for all.

This should be OK in the 2002 right? I have to change my water pump so this was on my list after doing a flush.

NM, none in stock at any walmarts near me and it is out of stock online.

I use ELC in my 6.0's, I get it at a farm store called North 40. It's normally $8.95/gal premix, but just went on sale for $7.95/gal plus a $5/gal mail in rebate.
