The best thing to run is waterless coolant called Evans Cool. Like most good things - its not cheap.


You want Heavy Duty antifreeze for diesels as there are some special additives. Cummins carries it ans sell it as Zerex. I believe they have another brand for the larger engines.

Youd never have to change it again. Its a lifetime coolant I believe.

Get an oil pan heater....some of the early Cummins oil pans have a plug already tapped in and that ZeroStart people have some good units. Warm oil is good to have on those cold nights - and it heats the whole engine. Sweet!

Holy thread resurrection Batman

A pan heater will heat the oil but the water in the radiator and heater core won't get heat.

I hope that he has this taken care of by now
