Gooch's Radiator/Engine Backflush Procedure and Coolant Information

Thanks for keeping up with this Stewart.
I did the water pump, etc., and flushed and hoses at same time. A great way to do the flush with it all apart.
Very glad I changed to the re-routed hose, as I have had to change the belt twice since doing the flush, nice not to break coolant system open.

Finished changing mine today. The G05 I took out looked as good as new. I wanted to get the ELC in there, so I picked up 6 gal. of Delo full strength. 6 gals from Distributor was cheaper than 4 gals in the Auto Parts houses. Couldn't find Delo.
Cat was $108.00 for 4 gals and they didn't stock it in full strength.

I had to buy a case of six, about 120 dollars. Just be sure they get the concentrate,the guy brought out the 50/50 first. They are set up for retail, but it is not a store front type of place. A large warehouse with an office.
Good luck.

Thanks, two hours researching and I finally decided to go the Guzzle coolant bypass filter route:
Welcome to guzzle's Coolant Bypass Filter Mod Web Page
Oh yeah, also located a source of the Delo ELC in Anchorage, Alaska. Sounds like the way to go when I flush and refill the coolant in my 7.3L PS.

Where in Anchorage did you find the Delo Elc? I'm in the Valley and I'm having a hell of a time.
