Truth. I am actually flushing the system today to 75/25 water to anti-freeze, along with running water-wetter. Also switching over to Castrol Edge 5w-50 to protect those internals. Going to go to TWS again in May, so that will be my end all be all in this test. If I can maintain safe temps without having to take so many easy laps then I will hold off. If not, I will have a radiator shortly on order here.

Best mixture I've seen is 75% water

Never used Water Wetter, does that stuff really work?

I had overheating issues with my old Durango. I used water wetter for a bit, just made it take longer to overheat, then again I had a bad radiator.

It's one of the few additives that "water only" racetracks allow. I put it in my radiator when I was recently overheating, but I also was trying to change airflow to the radiator at the same time. I think it helped, but I was changing too many variables.

Also might try running more water instead of antifreeze through your cooling system. Water is what actually provides the cooling, so I believe a richer mixture of water to coolant may help as well.

Please use distilled.

Not a fan of corrosion I see.

Thinking hard about it. I can get a fairly good deal on a new one and it appears to be a good quality product since every radiator is individually tested.

Scored one for $370 brand new, never opened. Quality promises to be good, so hopefully it doesn't bite me in the a$$ versus buying a Fluidyne. Crossed fingers it works with the ProCharger kit too.

how did this CSf work out?? from my previous experience with CSF thier rradiator made a hugedifference with my turbocharged truck.. especially after dyno pulls, it'd cool within a matter of 45 secs vs. 5-15 mins with the oem unit
