I know a lot of the guys run water in the summer...so I always post this in October. Get the water out and the antifreeze in!!!!

Already ahead of you. Just put the original radiator back in and filled her up with antifreeze.

When it was 95* out, she'd stay at 165* all day. She was having trouble getting up to 130 in this 75* weather.

Even in the summer you are better off running a 50/50 mix vs straight water.

Better cooling and better metal protection.

Do they still make Sierra anti-freeze? How do you test that stuff?
