In about a month, or whenever the new heater hoses are in from Tony, I will be trying the Evans Waterless Coolant, since our trucks run hot in summer, thought I would try this.
Spoke with Dave at Evans and he ran me through the drill. you drop current coolant and refill with clean water. To make sure you get it all, you need to remove the engine plugs each time, clear the heater core and the overflow. Heat up motor then drop it again. Then refill with clean water and Prestone flush mix, heat to operating temp and drop again. Finally refill with water, heat up motor and drop last flush. Now add NPG+ (about 6 gallons) and you're set. Oh, as it runs through the heat cycles it will darken till its oil color, this is normal.
I'm changing all hoses (hard radiator and silicone heater), new 170 thermostat and new cap.

I asked the same and he said theirs is a prep in case you can't get the engine plug out to remove the water, you need the prestone to get rid of the contaminants.
He told me that I can use stock, will check before I put it in.
The Evans coolant will get darker.
Make sure you use the correct typr or you will have problems. Not all antifreeze works with aluminum..
This is the stuff that I used when I replaced my thermostat.
I'm one of a couple of us using the Evans,I put it in with a nice clean block after build,the engine got hot the other day(hot enough to get headers to glow) and water temp didn't go above 190F,so I would say it sems to be working! (And mine is still clear,no colour change)
Thanks for the update, yours is the situation (fresh block). Wonder if that accounts for no color change? Dave said that they can tolerate up to 5% of water in the coolant, in your case there was definitely none.

I got away easy,just had to blow out rad and heater core,replaced heater core lines with Stinkers stainless kit!:rock: ,I am also going to run a 6psi cap too.
That low? Who makes that low a cap? I assume you are running a stop PIS cap right now?
Any pics of the stainless heater core lines?

Nice! I assume these are rubber lines with stainless steel braiding over the rubber?
I assume you didn't buy the coolant directly from Evans.
What are the other two rubber hoses that come out of the block where the oil cooler lines come out of?

Anybody know how much coolant to put in? I am going to do a flush, and I need to buy the coolant and need to know how much I should buy. Please let me know. Thanks in advance!
The lines are stainless steel lines tha same as the oil cooler lines,they are not covers if thats what you are asking,and the other lines are like VIPR PWR said are to the heat exchanger,and for coolant I put in 5 gal with the complete system/block being bone dry.
