    Overheating

    Not all coolants are created equal. If you can find an extended life antifreeze marked for heavy duty diesel use with the SCAs included, by all means use it. Do NOT use ELCs designed for gas engines (the red stuff) - it is BAD for diesels. I don't understand the chemistry involved, you would...

    Overheating

    OK, I stand corrected. I thought the LDT465 had wet liners, guess I am wrong. I'll still go with the "Heavy Duty Diesel" coolant though, cost difference is negligable, with proper testing annual flushes and refill are not needed, sounds like if you keep the SCA and pH in the proper range the...

    I'm not 100% certain, but I'm pretty sure I've read they are wet liners. Never taken a LDT apart so I can't speak from experience. Perhaps Bjorn can answer. The pics in the part manual don't help either. I did see a liner tool kit advertised on Ebay, one of the pics showed the tool installed on...

    Overheating

    Just a thought - DO NOT use regular automotive antifreeze in a Deuce! Prestone, Wally World, Dexcool, etc antifreezes are designed for GASOLINE and light duty diesel engines. HD diesels as in the Deuce and other HD trucks use wet cylinder liners and MUST use antifreeze especially formulated for...
