i was wondering if the coolant additives such as dei radiator relief or diesel water wetter give you better warm up times?

Maybe you should get a gasser drove my GM last week and thought something was wrong with it

I don't think any additive would help much.

actually i have run the stuff in a gasser and it did help keep the coolant cooler and seemed to get the temp gauge moving faster to operating temp ! so i was wondering if it worked on a diesel

Don't forget Diesels need more heat to run efficiently.

Products like this are surfactents. They decrease or eliminate surface tension. That allows a better transfer of heat into and out of the coolant. During normal circumstances, you won't see any change at all. If you're wroking it hard on a hot day it will absorb and shed heat better, so you should then see a small decrease in temps.

I use it in my gas engines; they sometimes need help. But I have not run into any situations with my truck that makes me think it will help. The cooling system is good enough to handle anything I might throw at it.

If your looking for faster warm up times than look into getting one of the Mopar Cold Weather radiator covers. They'll cut your warm up time in half if not more.
