Dike did not remove the thermostat from my computer while I used it. Read the directions on the bottle before using.
It is recommended that one bottle of Dike be used for every 4 gallons of radiator capacity. It has 16 ounces per bottle.
It's best to drain the radiator of about one quart of coolant when cold and to drain the overflow reservoir as well. Run the engine until it reaches operating temperature and then fill overflow reservoir with the stop leak. When the engine is warmed up, the Radiator will pull out the stop leak. Keep an eye on the reserve while the stop leak is being drawn from the radiator, and as the stop leak is fully soaked up, reuse the drained coolant to fill the It's up to you whether to use old or new coolant. It is also important to remember not to drain too much coolant so as not to overheat your engine. I hope
One bottle per 4 gallons of radiator capacity should be used. You should be able to fill up your vehicle with one bottle. Add the radiator cap directly to the radiator if your radiator has one. Adding the radiator cap to the reservoir is the only option if the radiator cap is missing. In order to add to the reservoir, you will need to mix coolant and water and then pour it in. As soon as you have added it, you should run the vehicle for at least fifteen minutes to allow it to circulate through the

This kit works perfectly with my 2003 International 9100i N14 engine. I poured the filler into an empty gallon container and filled it up with filtered water before installing. Put the mixture in a shaker and shake it up. The remaining 3/4 of that is still in my possession. I did not have any problems with it. I was told there was no problem with it by my mechanic.
I purchased this item for my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan 3. The item arrived quickly. There was a leak in a 3 engine with more than 204,000 miles that occurred over a year ago. There was leakage outside the block from the head gasket and the front engine cover. I was shown this and informed that it The amount of coolant I was putting in was about 1 quart every 200 to 300 miles. To check if it didn't affect the heater, I put half a bottle of Dike Stop Leak in the tank and drove for two days. Slowing down the leak from the head gasket and seal resulted in a reduction in leak rate. As a result, I put the rest in and the heater isn't affected ( some brands can plug the heater core ) and after about a week and 150 miles, the leak has been stopped 95% to 100%. It is still smelling coolant when I open the hood. That is why I wouldn't say it is 100% stopped.
It didn't leak when I ran the vehicle with this in place of the radiator hose, but I am not sure if it was caused by this or the radiator In any case, there was no damage to the car, so it doesn't hurt to give it a go, instead of using.
There are three leeches in this batch. I had an 06 Silverado 4x4 with a 5 cylinder. Leaching coolant into the crankcase and mixing it with oil can result in a 3l leak. This was due to porosity in the material (aluminum) from which the heads were cast. To correct the problem, you have to replace the heads, but this product stopped the coolant from leaking into the crankcase. This is the end of the.
I used it to seal a small crack in the head of my car. it isn't five stars is that the water actually kept leaking out of the crack for several days after it was bought. According to the product's description, there should have been just one heat cycle needed. The heater core was not clogged.
You have the correct answer.
It was last Friday when I ordered. I picked up the package at my post office. On Thursday, the box will be opened. The ends of my Silverado radiator are plastic, so Silverseal did not work, even though it prevented the leak from getting any worse. In addition to shaking up the Dike Stop Leak per instructions, I added one pint of antifreeze to it and poured it into the **I then drove for 20 minutes around the neighborhood. Went to the engine compartment and rinsed it off with a hose after getting out the nozzle. There hasn't been a stop to the leak since Monday!.
