I had planned to use some of this when filling up my junk for the final time. Have you had decent luck with it?

 

Ok, so I just drove home (~4 miles city), and the temp didn't even get to 210°. After I flushed it out this morning, I just put distilled water in the radiator. I am thinking that my coolant:water ratio was all jacked up. Is this possible?

 

yes, i've had good luck with water wetter. great stuff.

and as for your coolant, mix 50/50. you can buy the premixed jugs.

 

run it in my bike, great stuff

 

For those of you interested, I finally got this thing licked this past weekend. I put a CSF 3-row radiator and a B&M Supercooler on (so as to keep potentially hot trans fluid out of the radiator), and it was still running hot. In a last ditch effort, I had heard about guys burping the back of the head, so I decided to give her a try. It worked!

I had also read a bunch of naysayers say that you absolutely don't have to burp the open system, but I am here to say that they were wrong. I backed my Jeep up the back side of a motorcycle jump at my friend's place, shut it off, and started loosening the temp gauge sender. Sure enough, it started hissing at me. I ended up taking it all the way out, and we decided to see how much fluid we could put in back there. Turns out, we almost put in a half-gallon of 50/50 until it started overflowing. I was absolutely overjoyed!

Hope this helps anyone else with similar symptoms. Now I just have to figure out why my e-fan doesn't kick on at the right temp, but will kick off at the correct temp...

 

good, glad you got it figured out instead of cutting holes in your hood to cool down (like ive read a few people on here doing)

 

I run dual electric fans in my cherokee and i can jeep it below 210 in 100* weather...But this was after i pulled my radiator out only to find out there was mud and little stick cought in all the little fins on the rad. Before i cleaned it out it would over heat all the time. Now i make it a point to clean out the rad regularly. Because this was dirt bugs etc that i couldn`t see, if you looked into the rad it looked clean as a whistle. but man was it ever dirty.
