This weekend I took the Cummins from the OEM green coolant to Final Charge. It was a bit more time and work than I had thought, but everything went as planned. Now I can eliminate SCA checks from my task list. Also, I only need to add an extender after 3 years. I'm really pleased I don't have this task again for 6 years.

The only surprise was that it took 6 drain, refill and run engine cycles to get all the green out! For a while, I thought the green was going to just keep coming out forever.

Anyone know who carries the Final Charge concentrate ? I like the availability of the 50/50 mix at Walmart. You never know when you may need coolant on the road.
I have checked a couple of parts stores and truck stops and Tractor Supply no luck.
