it time to get you rig ready for winter. the nights are droping to freezing.
my boggers going in heated storage this year hoping to take it in next week after big als! still got to add antifrezze!
What do u need to do?????? Do u guys not run antifreeze all year in yer rigs????
during the summer i just run straight water, keeps the motor a lil cooler, then this time of year i open the radiator cap up and hook a garden hose up to a heater core line and flush it out good for about 20 min, then drain the water out and add antifreeze, works good for me every year
Im trying to winterize my truck.... all thats left to do is install the lift, put the body on, put the engine and trans in, ==np ;D lol
thanks for the heads up dave!
drain it and forget it.
==cold tonight

dont forget junk yards for free anti-freeze
I've never thought of trusting any liquids from a yard..
To each their own I say. To me I prefer the peace of mind with new stuff. I'd rather spend 12 bucks for "good" stuff in a store and know I'll have no issues than unknown quality from somewhere else and....uht- Oh!

fer sure
I run AF year round , change diff fluids and t case park for winter
its time again. 35 % last night. ==coldd
i run antifreeze all year...and my diffs have leaked everything out so those cant freeze loll....just need to take care of the shattered drivers door glass.
mines parked 4 the yr so if the axles freeze oh well lol havent had a problem with it yet and i run antifreeze in mine all the time so thats good also
Well i run antifreeze in my rig year round. I used to run juat wayer but it heats up faster. As far as storage... as soon as the ice is thick eniugh i plan to go have some fun on the lake this year.
I run straight water also, but I had just added most likely half gallon of 50/50 antifreeze. Do you guys think I should drain it and add straight 50/50?
Yep unless u want ro replace the radiator amd some freeze plus in the spring time, half of a gallon is not enough
Myself, it couldn't hurt.
I run straight water with pure glcol alchol mix, it dont freeze and stays cooler than running water or antifreeze
Thanks guys for the info. Plan to drain it this weekend.
Its that time Again
look cool
