Russ,
I tried water wetter in my Jensen (British) and my Barracuda (was getting
hot at high speed). NO noticable difference with the standard guages on
either vehicle. I think It is basically a surfactant and reduces the
surface tension of the water to allow better "contact" and heat tranfer. Im
not a total naysayer, but I cant imagine needing it on anything but an older
british or italian car with inherent marginal cooling and AL alloy heads or
blocks. Big chunks of cast iron have too high a thermal mass for real
improvements from somthing like that. Jet dry dish washing additive seems
to be basically the same stuff only blue... all of the above is IMO :^).

Subject: DML: Amsoil vs. Redline vs. ?
I have decided to change all my fluids to synthetic (front and rear dif,
transfer case, transmission). I called Redline to check on their products,
prices, etc. The man I talked to said there were several different difs
listed for the 97 Dak including a Dana 44 front and a Dana 60 rear. Three
?s:
1. Does anyone know what dif, transfer case, transmission came in the 97 CC
4x4 318 auto w/ OD....or know how I can find this out.This determines what
application I need and how much I need.
2. Which brand should I go with (Redline, Amsoil, or other)?
3. Is there really any benefit from going with synthetic and will it justify
the cost (initial estimate looks like well over $150 closer to $200). Each
qt. of their fluid sells for $7.95 which adds up quick when you talk about
the
trans holding up to 11qts. and each of the difs holding 4 and the transfer
case 3 qts. Thanks for the help.
Russ
P.S. Anyone tried the Redline water wetter? Any benefit?
