Redline Water wetter
Anyone have any experience with this product?
Looking to run it in the 6.7 with about a 65/35 ratio for low temps to around -10
it honestly doesn't get too low around here TN maybe low 10's

per the Site suggest that
"Diesel road cars and light trucks (equipped with Cummins, Duramax, and PowerStroke engines) should use regular WaterWetter to ensure proper rust and corrosion protection"
and the below formula I'm guessing is for the big rigs or farm equipment?

Personally, I would advise you to not use it with the ELC (extended life coolants). If the 6.7 use the old green coolant, then go for it.
If You still want to use it, contact the company and ask them about using it with the Orange ELC coolants.

Per the site" Compatible with new or used antifreeze (including DEX-COOLTM and long-life versions) to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems

On my 2015, I have seen water temps go to like 245 for only a short period of time when pulling a load and climbing the Rockies but almost immediately dropped back to like 200 after the pull. I have never seen a need for it.

Don't see a need for it either... If you are that concerned, test the coolant often. Keep it at the correct % for the weather you are in. Flush it when you fail that test.

Why would you ever need that???
The truck prompts you to check the coolant on a regular basis. Do that and there's no need to put anything else in.

No I don't see a need for it. Its just something I'm wondering as opposed to just a straight 50/50 mix for possibly lower temps. it essentially will could be running the engine cooler just as a oil cooler relocation does. Imagine having both

I wouldn't run any of those additives (Redline, RoyalPurple, etc.), intended more for performance engines where you have a problem with cooling. In a newer stock system they aren't needed.

Technically, with the emissions equipment and the high pressure fuel system, this engine really needs to run as hot as possible for max efficiency. You don't want to let it run cooler, you'll lose mpg and the nox sensors will be working harder than necessary. Seems to me that Ford works hard to let this engine run as hot as possible while also working to maintain a consistent temperature preventing large operating range. If anything, changing the thermostats to run 10-20° hotter than factory spec might actually gain us performance.
