I think you suffered a grounding issue on your jeep if your core plugs were eaten away. Some coolants are not tolerant to electrolysis at all.

Buy a refractometer from amazon and check the coolant concentration then adjust as required. I prefer to keep concentration at 50% as the coolant chemistry works best with it.

Allison tes 295 is the gold standard of HD ATF, it will almost never break down in use. I have poured this oil in on a duramax (customer supplied), and have also used citgo quatrasyn Citgo gave a much better shift feel though. But if this shell product is filled into a passenger car, its the...

The small barrels hold 5 gallons each, I think bossman split the cost of the 55 with another shop, or maybe peak sell a 5 gallon container of this product. That sienna has clocked 134k miles since that coolant install.

2ml in a 10L capacity is called negligible, just parking your car overnight in fall in the southwest can cause more than that volume to settle in the trans, diff and engine.

Have you encountered a “genuine parts fanatic”? Try selling GM dexcool for topup to a Ford truck owner whose vehicle has motorcraft orange in it. You will know. Replace dexcool with mz fl22 for speciality green to the situation above.

This is why there are small plastic barrels of the peak global lifetime coolant concentrate in our shop, it just works. I did an electrolysis test on a car that we filled in 2015 (old customer who moved out of state and is now back) - it was 0.09v dc on fully warm engine with rad cap off...

The first productions 2003-2005 models of the mazda6 made in USA (milk mustache grille) were indeed filled with the orange dexcool. The same cars that came from Japan had the old mazda green coolant, The old mazda green is very close to toyota red or Honda Type1 or nissan green. Those cars...

Ford yellow is more close to toyota/honda/nissan coolants in formulation.

The 2003 to 2005 mazda mazda6 had dexcool as factory fill, 18 psi cap and atmospheric pressure expansion tank. They never had any issues with it. In my experience the japanese coolant versions of this same car eventually had waterpump shaft seal failure after 120,000 miles or 8-10 years, the...

Its more to do with customers rather than the product, customers want to “see” and “hear” all the correct buzzwords before deciding on something. And that something should have social media fluff too.

Ive experienced that prius systems work a bit cooler (lesser pump speeds) with peak global coolant or final charge coolant. Dont know why, maybe it has higher latent heat properties.. no idea.

If using something like peak global or g05 or dexcool you can use the hose as long as its drinking quality. Dont use tap water to mix POAT coolants, they will precipitate out. With your car the engine has no drain, the radiator only drains the radiator level and above. If you want to drain the...

Polyurea greases are much more long life than lithium stuff with added moly. Toyota has filled their cv joints with PU grease since the late 90s I think. (The dark green almost black grease) What I like PU grease for in cvj is that its thixotropic, it becomes a runny mass when worked and reforms...

You can remove the knock sensors to drain the complete engine like GM says or you can also remove 1 long bolt from the waterpump, the ones that require the ptfe paste. The pump location is pretty down low and drains the heads and intake manifold down to the timing cover level. a low volume...

I believe the mercedes bevo site showed glysantin 48 as product in the 325.0 page listing. Zerex G48 is BASF Glysantin formula 48. Literally the same Product.

Ive been reading and finding out quite a bit for cv axle greases but i dont find anything abt the chevron black pearl line. In the past I have rebooted axles and put the moly/black stuff packs, while they work nice in the outer, they chewed out the tripod needle bearings. Same happened with...

For packing I used the ball of grease on palm method - weighed the grease charge too like MB asks - it is just enough to coat the hub to the level of the races - I think its done to take advantage of the centrifugal force throwing grease oils outwards into the bearings or something like that...

This may sound like a basic question but here goes. I repacked the wheel bearings of my car, an old mercedes - The grease I used was valvoline cerulean that I bought at NAPA, the TDS seems quite nice and it has a GC-LB rating too. This grease is sort of stringy e.g. if you apply a dab on your...
