Waterless Coolant
Has anyone heard of or used waterless coolant?
There is a small write up in the Product Profile section in the August 8-Lug magazine. There is also an add in the back that states:
I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions on waterless coolant. It is a bit expensive but could be worth the cost if it works like hey say it does.
Thanks

It's ture your truck has a 185* t-stat if you put Dieselsites 203* t-stat you will get a little better fuel mileage. A lot of the guy's on here including me run the 203*

IMHO just keep your cooling system clean and fully charged with additives you shouldn't have any trouble. Most guys here use Motorcraft VC-8 from the dealer. If you still concerned you can add a coolant filter with or w/o the additive in it. I prefer to use it w/o because it adds to much.
The jury is still out on the 203 therm, some have experienced high failure rates. I'm going on 4 years w/o any trouble. It does give a little extra performance. Diesels like heat....up to a point of course.
