Radiator Coolant

Has anyone tried using Evans Waterless Coolant in their Ford V-10? I'm needing to flush my cooling system and came across this product. Looks interesting. Does anyone know the capacity of the cooling system an a 2000 F-53 chassis? Thanks in advance.

Never tried it and more concerned about the other factors as cooleant is also anti corrosion for radiator and engine. To my knowledge there is no issue with thes V10 running hot...

In other words, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

No, but I use Water Wetter in my 460, it made a huge difference.

Plus anti rust and water pump lubricant. Ford knew that they had to keep the aluminum heads cool. That is why they used almost 8 gallons of coolant. Ford has finally approved the long life gold coolant from Ford for the V10. I would change over to that coolant. Ford had used the V10 for over 10 years when I retired. It was very, very, rare for a V10 to overheat. Our dealership never had a V10 motorhome overheat. I read of just a few. There was always a problem that caused it.
