Ceramic coolant additive

Was anyone aware that ford was adding a Ceramic coolant additive to help combat the head gasket problem from the factory?

I was thinking of adding a coolant filter, but I’m having problems with Combustion gassing in my coolant and getting ford to admit that I have a problem and it is stock

Thanks
Brian

Best coolant I've ever seen, heard, or used. Will not own another vehicle without it.

Never honestly heard of a ceramic additive.

Irontite actually makes a ceramic block sealer as well.. They make two types of block sealer, one that can be added to the anti freeze, and the ceramic type that is added to a 'clean' flushed system/no anti freeze and run at temp then drained after its pushed under pressure into any trouble areas.. I does work pretty well, but I think I would 'have issue' with anyone putting any sealer or bandAid on a engine with very few miles or even almost new.. ANY BRAND..

Yep NPG+
Drop all the fluids. Passenger side block drain requires removal of the starter(3bolts) and is no problem. Refill with 5 gals......where Ford came up with figures I don't know but 5 will do the job. I orderd 2 cases for a price break.

Grampyjim on TDS always says Evans is a bad idea, but it always looked like a great Idea to me.

How many of you guys are running NPG+?

I have used Evans in racing for years. This is my first diesel using NPG+ so what is Grampy's reasoning? Long haul trucks and heavy equipment use it, air cavitation is a killer in diesels where NPG+ stops this from happening. It meets and exceeds all manufacturer specs...

I'm pretty sure it was Grampy - going from memory. He speakes in cooling engineer terms, so it is hard to figure out what he's saying.
