coolant additive

I went down to the parts store and asked for the coolant additive for a PSD, and he went and got a bottle of gs-100, made by hastings, i think that was the model number. Is that what i need, he said it was anti-cavative suppliment, and prevent rust and corrosion in the coolant system. Is that the additive which prevents the little air bubbles on the cylender walls due to vibrate?

I am not sure what Hastings stuff it. The label sounds right since you are trying to prevent cavitation.

Where did you get it - Hasting is a great name and good company. I would be interested in getting their product.

If you are not sure add it, then get some test strips to make sure you have SCA levels set.

I would not add it unless you KNOW it is Ford compatible. You can buy the right SCA and the correct test strips at www.dieselpage.com

Call Hastings they are great people, with awesome products. Their quality far exceeds anything with a Ford name on it. I am pretty sure that what you have is the correct stuff.
