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.

I have been running this in my truck for over a year. Any thoughts on this?

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!!
