I've never used them but they would certainly be preferred over antifreeze in my book. Of course, they are a bit harder to install.
The thing that's always scared me off balance beads is that they turn to goo (melt) when coming in contact with any grease or oils. In theory there's shouldn't...
I realize that given the current cost of fuels (we're looking at you, Brandon) that it's hard to imagine dumping 50 gallons of diesel (ie: retasking for other burning purposes) but there is absolute no chance I would risk my CAT engine tinkering with it to actually run as fuel. No friggin-ing...
The issue there is (and one of the the reasons I say "zero" is the best amount to run") is that antifreeze becomes inherently corrosive over time. It becomes quite acidic as it's anti-corrosive ingredients break down, actually. Ever wondered why that in a closed-loop cooling system the coolant...
I've seen a few. One was made from a hub (I think), one was 3D printed, and one looked like it was a production tool.
Members here made the first two I mentioned.
Here's one sold on eBay (out of stock, though)...

What's the cross section look like?

As long as you stay off-road, they are legal in Texas.
Just not legal on the pavement.
*this is one of those things that isn't covered by reciprocity. Just because it's legal in another state, you can be cited for violation if you come to Texas with your headlights covered (ie: like getting...
btw: it's pretty common for transport to drain the fluids when they come in from some overseas locations. GP wouldn't likely be in that loop (more so the government).
No kidding. It's hot and sweaty down here in northern Mexico.
First real cold front of the year pushed thru Monday (that ends our hurricane season here, sorry Florida). I had planned to jam on the truck while it was cooler but my brother popped down on short notice.
Yeah, once I get the walls up I can move all the crap I have piled up all over my house and get it back into the truck. I figure a couple of weeks and it should really be taking shape.
