I, as a majority of one, will again throw my support to the use of Evans waterless antifreeze, especially if you have a #14 head. I am convinced that with a boiling point of 375 degrees, you will escape the big repair job.
True story, I was 30 miles from home in my 95 Toyota pickup and noticed the temp needle as it was entering the red zone. I wanted to go another mile or so before pulling over, so I turned the heater full blast and opened all the windows. When I didn't get roasted by the heater, I knew the coolant had to be near gone so I pulled over and shut it down. When I opened the hood there was no steam. With rag in hand, I eased the cap toward loose and got one small hiss and removed the cap. I carry extra Evans in all my vehicles so I added the half gallon available and returned home. The culprit was a small coolant line going to the oil cooler that had a small chaffed hole. I believe the Evans stuff saved me serious engine damage. I have it in all my cars except the one I bought this week, give me a week and it will be there also. Its been in my SDL for over five years, the one with a leak near the top of the radiator for the last three or four years. Now, if all of you will buy some, I'll be filthy rich.
