Im going to install my new aluminum heat exchanger today and wanted to know how much watter wetter to put in the system. I live in San Francisco, so my truck will be operating in 50 to 80 degree weather 11.5 out of 12 months of the year.

Do I need to run coolant? Any suggestions? Distilled water and Wetter okay?

Thanks in advance

 

I use to use water wetter and distilled water in my Cobra. Just follow the ratio on the bottle. I think I used two bottles for my whole system.

 

I used 1 bottle of water wetter and filled the rest with distilled water, holds about a gallon.

 

Same here

 

Using regular oarnge coolant is not required or is not suggested? Why use the water wetter?

 

better cooling properties.

 

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

 

I live up north and used 1 bottle of water wetter and a 50/50 mix of distiled water and toyota brand antifreeze. Although I try not to even use the truck in the winter.

 

so theres nothing wrong with using the standard coolant but the water wetter is just better? Right?
