    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    Put the cap back on it. Stick an air blower in it with about 15psi max It will push more out. Can do it with small lines on top and it ll force it to the drains Good way to test the pressure relief in the cap too

    Don't steer people in the wrong direction with something you know nothing about and you won't have that issue.

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    The coolant is recommended for detroit diesel and it does not apply to the 6.2s. That's what you said. Let's get it straight. However it does. Every diesel engine has cavatation problems. Why do you think they have wet liners in Detroits? Like every other big engine so cavitation doesn't cause...

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    It was in your reference to big diesel engines from earlier. That everything applies to big engines. The Ford 6.9 isn't much different from the 6.2. Share lots of parts. And the cavitation problem isn't just limited to big detroit 2 stroke engines.

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    You obviously have never been around any 6.9 or 7.3 IDIs. They have to use low silicate with SCA additive due to cavitation. Not an issue in thr 6.2s but coolant types can be specific to smaller engines that aren't wet sleeve either.

    Green. Green. Green. Low silicate basic stuff. Use the KISS method.

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    The 6.2s won't be hurt by running a certain coolant even for a decent amount of time. If you have an engine with wet liners and use the wrong coolant you learn real quick cause you will be rebuilding an engine.

    Did I use the wrong coolant?

    Super tech Low silicate. They have a silicate free now I believe. I haven't bought any for over a year or two. I've got cases of the old stuff.

    Does attack rubber. Especially bad for those engines with wet liners.
