Bernd, and others,
Has anyone used, and liked, Radiator Relief from DEI?
http://www.designengineering.com/page61.html
None of my local part stores carry it, so I check Summit for PN#040104, and
it shows they carry it for a whopping $21.69. Is this right?? It better work
for that price! DEI's home page says their Radiator Relief(32ounce bottle!)
treats a 15 quart cooling system, while Redline's Water Wetter(12ounce
bottle)treats a 12-15 quart system. I have used Redline's Water Wetter from
Pep Boys, which runs like $6-$7 and haven't noticed any benefits from this
product.
Ok, next topic......
I am going to replace my truck's radiator cap, upper radiator hose, lower
radiator hose, bypass hose, thermostat, and thermostat gasket(as soon as I
can figure out what 'coolant' additive to order). Some of the above parts
have been on since the truck rolled off the assembly line, and some have
40,000+ miles on them. Basically, I am going to replace them all so I dont
have to mess around with leaking hoses or cooling system related problems or
failures in the near future. I am going to replace the 55,000 mile old Stant
SuperStat tstat with the factory recommended 195degree tstat. I think the
tstat is starting to stick anyways. I dont think I want to mess around with
trying a 180 degree unit only to find out I dont like it, and have to swap
out the 180 unit for a 195 unit, as I am currently using. Other than using
the stainless steel version, the SuperStat, what other companies make a good
quality thermostat? I was thinking about NAPA, but I think Stant makes them
anyways. Thanks for any and all info on the DEI stuff or on a good tstat
product.
