time for coolant flush, have some ??????
i'm due for a coolant flush. I will be installing a 203*t-stat and housing and coolant filter from diesel site.
I'm interested in changing my green coolant over to elc so i no longer have to worry about adding sca's. But i'm concerned about the jello like stuff forming in my cooling system. is that only a problem when mixing the green with the gold? Could the jelly stuff form when changing to the elc (Red)? if so, i'll probally stick with green. i read rotella's product description it says it is compatable with "conventional coolants"
some people are using the rotella elc, and others evans npg +. from what i've read, the evans is waterless. how would you get all the water out of the system? also, the evans if waterless will cost about $250 -280 to fill her up.
any other concerns i should have if i decide to change to elc coolant?

You will want to do a thorough flush and get all of the green out. Heres a flush procedure for changing to evans coolant it worked well for me when I switched to the Red

The reason I went with Red was the cost of the Evans. Doing the Evans swap you drill a hole in the Degas cap and the water is allowed to evaporate. I followed the procedure and it worked well I just didnt drill the Cap.
