Truck Repair: 1993 Ford FD-1460 8.3L Cummins, engine coolant, ford dealer
QuestionI'm changing the coolant on a 1993 8.3L Cummins. Ford specified Part# E6HZ-19549-A, Spec ESE-M97B18-C coolant mixed with FW-15 additive. Ford truck dealers no longer have this kind of (green color) coolant. The Ford Dealer's substitute was Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant (VC-7-B) and VC-8 additive. I've read some articles that stated that this coolant is to be used on engines 2002 and later years. What is the replacement for the Ford spec ESE-M97B18-C coolant or what do you recommend? Thanks Cliff.
Answer Fleetgaurd Complete but thats Cummins talking.Any low silicate antifreeze with a new DCA filter.The additive should be 2.5 units per gallon.Cummins makes a filter with 15 units in it & the bottles are 5 units. I have not seen anuthing where the extended life coolant will help.
