Anyone uses water wetter with dexcool in 8.1 liter? Does it help in cooling?

Thanx.

i removed the dexcool and put in the good ol green stuff. i fushed the system out completely.then ran it and filled it with distilled water. after that i put in one container of purple ice and one gallon green antifreeze. it has been running cool now for a while.

Has anyone else removed dexcool. I did that in my LT1 wagon. I heard it clogs heater core.

I've heard of people using water wetter in their atv's and love it. I don't know why you couldn't use it in your truck.

i use this stuff called engine ice in my dirtbikes, it works great, i think im gonna add water wetter next summer if it gets up to 110

i have heard of the green stuff eating up heater cores. that is because they never turned on the heater when flushing the cooling system. i think mine runs cooler with the set up i have now.

I put some in mine and it did not make any difference. I think you would have to flush Dexcool out of the whole system in order for it to make a difference. Also it is only going to make it as cool, on a hot day, as your thermostat temperature.

I can say it is a great product as I have used it in a 67 Chevelle I used to have and even on the hottest day around here, 110 deg, it still ran at 180 deg, the temp of thermostat I had.

I have Water Wetter in my car (with the green stuff) and in my truck (with the red stuff). Both vehicles are a touch lower on the temp gauge.

On the car, the temp climbs when standing still (mid engine), but seems to drop more quickly after the Water Wetter once moving.

I actually heard that dexcool is the one that clogs heater core. I am one of hundreds of LT1 owners that have flushed out dexcool for the green. I wouldn't think that it would perform any different in the vortec engine. So I have a dilemma here
