Pesky radiator leak...can't decide what to do

hehe... all i know is the regular prestone is utter crap, and to be
avoided in anything other than a big block detroit relic. checked the
zerex site, and it specs the "red" stuff for MB/chrysler, and ford. its
*low* silicate, no phosphate.

they also make a version of dexcool, which is no silicates or
phosphates. seems to be approved for just about anything.

lots of info on there about dye packages, etc. as well.

 

hey! i did it right, once, back in... '01. time after that, the bolt
wasnt coming off easy, so i said "fuggit".

the stuff i drained in '04 looked as good as the stuff i put in...
orange prestone dexcool, silver jug.

 

we've come a long way with antifreeze

I remember when you added it in the fall, and then flushed the radiator, and
replaced antifreeze the next year.

every now and then you would throw in a little can of something to lubricate
the water pump seals

my dad had a 1962 Chevrolet 6 cylinder, and I think it was Prestone that
came in a metal red rectangular gallon can

 

Don't you still do that?
