It used to be that you didn't need to be a chemist, engineer, computer wizard, or a customer relations specialist to be a mechanic! Now, we be called techs!

Ok THAT was an interesting read. I had NO idea, whatsoever that I needed an additive for my coolant. What kind of coolant, or coolant additive would you recommend for my 6.0?

Except in the case of Tap Water here at the lake when it's cut in 1/8th!! Our water is so hard, it'll solidify in a cup overnight!!
