For the years prior to my introduction to this forum and my 6.5TD I was running my old 7.3 1990 N/A INI diesel. Maintaining the antifreeze PH and assuring no cavitation was IMO one of the reasons my old 7.3 is still running now at 332K on the clock. Here is one article that provides some cavitation and PH stats pertaining to the 7.3 INI diesel. http://www.expertdiesel.com/cavitation.htm
Question do our 6.5's have the same issues? I added a bottle of Lucas antifreeze wetter to my coolant right after I purchased it last Oct. Is there an AC delco additive also or? Should we be checking the PH in our 6.5's?
In my Ford 7.3 I always spent the money on the OEM antifreeze additive, kinda pricey like 18 bucs a bottle & I always added 2 when changing the coolant...don't know if it was worth it, but it's still going strong.
Let's hear it...
