If you have a Truckstop close by that would be your best bet, you'll get hammered with shipping with the weight...4 gallons worth...consentrate<mispelled) that is..

My local WalMart seems to have stopped carrying the Final Charge coolant....anyone else notice this? I wonder if its somehow considered "seasonal"??

If you have a CAT dealer nearby, they sell CAT ELC which I use and am happy with.

Don't mean to disrail the thread but I've got a question. Just bought a 2003 7.3L and checked the green coolant with a dipstick for additive, PH, etc.

Strip indicates it needs additive. I have a bottle of additive from NAPA that is purple in color...can I just add it to the existing coolant until the proper levels are reached?

I had Fleet Charge in my previous truck and it was a purple coolant..didn't want to put this in the new truck if it was inappropriate.

thanks

You can add the additive to the green coolant or use the Fleet Charge. I switched to Final Charge and said "Bye, Bye" to additives.
