I think mine said 22qt and that's how much it took last year when I changed it. But I may not have gotten it all out. Don't forget to use the NAPAKool additive to prevent cavitation holes. And get some test strips also while you're there.

well, the spec sheet makes it sound like it will do the job. I honestly don't know anything about it other than I'd like to switch to extended life coolant and just have to top it off once or twice a year and not fool with the addititive.

The FINAL CHARGE available at WalMart is what alot of over on the '99-'03 PSD forum use, its pre-mixed, and redily available at Wally's just like the rotella oil, just be sure & flush out as much of the old stuff that you can first.
Also consider a coolant filter setup from Dieselsite-I got one for my '99 and its great!!
