That's why you need to use an ELC with the cummins 14603 spec. Means it won't eat older gaskets in the cooling system.
The Zerex G-05 meets that spec..... That's why I use it.

That's better won't be cheap though... 8 gal at 14.99 a gallon for the 50/50 is $120 before sales tax!
yes, that was the non-precharged coolant... it looks like it's not cost effective to buy a 50/50 SCA coolant at that price though.
Sometimes you can find sales on 50/50 green coolant making it cheap enough not to bother with the extra $1/gal distilled water and mixing it up. Then just add the Motorcraft SCA... 2 bottles required, I believe.
both of those brands you mentioned are the completly wrong ingredients for our diesel cooling systems.Walmart's concentrate is $10/gallon, distilled water is $1. Unless you can find 50/50 for $5.50/gallon, you can't beat mixing your own.
Prestone is $11 at Walmart for concentrate if you want a name brand.
The advantage to buying a premixed SCA is not messing up the sca content by adding more between changes.
I might go with Napa SCA concentrate despite the much higher cost. (Almost twice as much) Then I can have consistant fluid if i need to add more. Unless i want to try to measure more sca into a gallon of 50/50 conventional, which I guess I could do. Stil way cheaper to have a third bottle of sca and use conventional green.

Those coolants are Dexclones. They attack rubber and plastic parts and become goo when subjected to air. They will also eat the solder out of the radiator.You want old school silicated green antifreeze,not a long life antifreeze like the 2 you mentioned. You can add the sca's to the silicated coolant. Its not compatible with dexclones.Hm. So what is correct then?
