What Antifreeeeeze
What antifreeeze is everyone using.
I need to do mine soon I looked at it because the overfill tube started leaking so I plan to cut it 1/2" shorted and replace.
I went to get some antifreeze and they say it has changed again.
As I was told any type any color they all work and mix fine.
Is it so and have people had good luck with one VS the other.
The stuff that is in it now looks a little rusty, If I remember it has about 50K on it.
Whats your been looking like when you drain it. My 350 chevy K5 has always been green in and the same out, no rust look. but this stuff was a orange color new and its not red from rust but a little rust color in it.

Zerex G05 (NAPA)
Mopar Brand (Red)
Our coolant has a diluted orange/red tint from the factory. I just priced the Mopar Coolant with HOAT (5 year/100,000 mile) from the local Dodge Dealership and they wanted $21 plus tax per gallon. You can buy it over the counter at NAPA under the name Zerex G05 (5 year/150,000 mile) for about $12.50 a gallon.
You can run green coolant (Usually a 3 year life), but you would need to completely drain your system and flush it a few times with water before you pour it in. I bought the right stuff and just topped off the system. I had a post started on this about a week or so back and everyone told me about the Zerex coolant and they were 100% correct. It even has a CAT, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, and John Deere specification right on the jug and meets all OEM Dodge Chrysler specifications. Someone replied to my post and even said that they called Zerex and a Zerex Rep told him that they make the coolant for Dodge.
