RE: [DML] coolant question



I disagree.... in my IROC I lived in Florida and was
told, "you can just run straight water down here,
hiyuk! hiyuk! hiyuk!"

Well - fine and dandy, but one of the major things
antifreeze does is protect against rust and corrosion.

within 6 months I was replacing a radiator and water
pump because the water had rusted the water pump, and
a chunk broke off and got lodged in the radiator.

spend the extra 3 bux and get the antifreeze... it
will save you in the long run.
