"If it has "Deathcool" get it out!" kenworth_goose could you explain what this is? So from what I am understanding that there is a special kind of antifreeze for CTD trucks? does that mean that good old Prestone will not work properly or will damage my truck? Thanks MIke

Just a suggestion, if you have a big truck shop nearby, see if they can check the acidity levels in the antifreeze after you flush and refill. It just uses test strips. It will tell you if need to repeat flush and fill soon. I have seen some nasty things happen with neglected cooling systems on big trucks. It is routine for us at every periodic maint. Co I work for runs over 100 trucks. We are the main terminal here, and get the major stuff from all our other yards over NM, TX, OK, and MO. I agree, use distilled water!

If ya haven't been there, ya just wouldn't understand.
