My old cummings only requires the green stuff so I use Super Tech from Walmart. Yes I changed my fluid about 4000 miles ago and the thermostat. The thermostat was stuck which caused overheating. Sure doesn't overheat now....very cool. Also the mixture was way above 50/50 so I am ok now. My number is 352-683-0490 and e-mail is tharris@gate.net. What I did was measure the amount of fluid that come out and put the same amount back in. It was 18-20qts. I measure it so I would know that I didn't leave air bubbles in the system. I run mine with the cap off at idle to make sure the thermostat opened and allowed proper circulation. My engine idles at 182 and increases to 187 under load on the straights. Goes up to 192 on small hills. Far cry from the 215 I was getting.

How do I access it??

No, I will take a look at it. Thanks

Hi FXdave,

You asked how I was doing in my profile and I am having trouble getting back to it. Found out something significant about my cummins. Changed coolant and thermostat. The thermo has been in there since 11/97. The old style thermo was stuck to the flange on the engine causing me problems. New thermo is different type and designed not to stick. Cant wait to try it on the road.

Have a good day

Hi fxdave,

Did not mean to ignore you. Just saw your comments. I like the 98. It is old but it rides good and so far not major repairs. It is about the right size for us. It would be nice if the older Endeavor guys could stick together so we could share our problems and solutions
