Would this be good in a 63% H2O ratio (high water) with Red Line Water Wetter and Prestone Anti-Rust additives in Dodge 1500 during SoCal summer?

I don't know about the additives. I certainly think additives are not necessary and in many cases can even harm your radiator. Zerex Protection specs is -35F-265F with 50/50 dilution and -84F- 276F with 70 antifreeze/ 30 water dilution. Be sure to use distilled water. The antifreeze itself is anti-corrosion liquid.

This is the recomended coolant for late model Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. The coolant already has rust inhibitors added, so I would not add or recommend the prestone anti-rust. I doubt the water wetter will do any harm. I do not know how old your vehicle is or how many miles you have. it's always a good idear and a cheap investment to replace the radiator pressure capand make sure you have a good air flow through the condensor and radiator.

No, actually I thought Red line product that you use is an antifreeze additive. If you intent to keep your old Prestone in the radiator and just add Zerex as needed instead of flush and refill, then that's fine. The coolant additive may or may not damage the radiator or clog up the heater core and I will not use any additive such as leak seal etc.

I have used on my gas tank and my power booster on mt brakes the booster was looking tough I prepped it and put 3 coats of pour 25 doing great. Also don't use anything but pour 15 if it will touch gas ethanol will eat it even JB I bought this truck 31 years ago so I don't use just anything but the best I can find. Signed the only owner Kev

SHORT ANSWER- Not So. While plain water is better as long as your car is cleaned (you may find when you have enough Klasse Sealant on your car's surface that road grime, bird sh_ _ etc. doesn't stick). I used this product a couple decades ago and didn't find again until recently; and on my Miata, have done two coats of their polish glaze, and followed with four separate applications on the Klasse High Gloss Sealant. (In my experience you need a minimum of two coats to be sure of a proper application. With the Klasse FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS ON APPLYING ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS ON APPLICATOR is a MUST, and personally apply in North-South in one coat and followed by second coat going East-West, again to ensure 100% coverage. Follow Klasse Instructions and do each coat a day apart. The is an acrylic sealant (believe it's same product from 20 years ago which was based on the same polymer used in plexiglass- oxidation is minimal from weather and chemically fairly inert; it is not a 'wax' which dries out where the acrylic polymer needs TIME to crosslink (bond) to the surface). OK the Klasse is on your car. IF you use any decent car shampoo, following instructions ( too concentrated or especially if allowed to dry on the car - can be bad as soap do tends to be caustic materials). Use per car shampoo instructions in a bucket, the clean car using a CLEAN rag (wash it as a gritty dirty towel will cause those light scratches you see on some cars other than mechanical washes).; then rinse with a lot of clean water. Wipe water off with a chamois cloth, wringing out as needed, then wipe down with microfiber cloth for final drying. There are some good sites with even better information on technique like Autogeek.net which also help. davzway

Not sure for marine applications, but I haven't had any problems with moisture intrusion/corrosion on my motorcycle. I always spray your connections with water displacement agents regularly.

I have no idea. The waterpumps I have seen have sealed bearings that are protected from the water/antifreeze. Use at your own risk. Mixing this with antifreeze is a new experiment. Good luck ! ( do you have an extra engine, just in case?)

Thanks for the reply. Worked GREAT in the application...now we will see how it stands-up to the summer interior heat of the car.

I have seen coolant temps as high as 210-213 in summer pulling a load uphill. It handled that without an issue.

Not sure if it is 316 or 304 (18-8) but it holds up real well on boat trailers that get dipped into salt water regularly. Based on that it is one of the better grades since there is no sign of rust.

i have used this on red-eye bearing buddies, in my salt water trailer.. worked great! says for high speed bearings, and high temp. should work great!

No it will not. I understand you want aluminum/zinc to aid with that. However it might be worth reading about this issue on waterheaterrescue dot com (i'm just a customer, not affiliated) for their advice related to various options.

Any starter kit will work. Best results are when you can actually sand, or wire brush any loose rust first. The cleaner the surface, the better the POR-15 will adhere!

Car antifreeze already has built in antimicrobial properties. If your using this in a PC. Assuming your not doing sub ambient cooling and not mixing aluminum and copper, straight distilled water is better. Glycol can leave deposits and gunk. Plus it will stain your lines. I have even heard of it breaking down acetl top blocks.

Sorry about my previous answer - 1095 Cro-Van is plain carbon steel, not high carbon. I've treated mine with Frog Lube and have had zero problems with corrosion.

I use this with additive in my Dodge Power Wagon with limited slip and electric lockers. I won't say this would not provide protection without additive but without additive my truck had a "hesitation" on initial acceleration from a stop. When additive is used the hesitation disappears. My 2 cents, for what it's worth.

dont buy this motor , get a mincoda. no idea on salt water. i got a 30 lb thrust trolling motor and use it all the time, sevylor is no good, trust me

Not sure if this would be ok for that temp.....I would use Rust-Oleum 241232 High Heat Ultra Enamel Spray, to be safe.

I am very sure it will. But after doing a lot of reading (as this stuff isn't cheap) what I found is, it is best to stay with what you have. If it is green-stay green, if u have "toyota-red" stay with red. Chemically, I guess they are a little different from each other and it is not best practice to mix them. I am not a chemist, but I am OCD about my Lexus, and read as many forums, reports and "scientifical stuff" that I did not completely understand, prior to performing my last flush. A majority are in agreement, stick with what you have, never mix (add distilled water if you need to) and perform regular flushes and you will be fine. Also, don't buy the premixed, you get 1/2 as much and the price is similar, simply, yes, but it is a rip-off. Grab some distilled water from the grocery store, it is about 1.00 a gallon, and mix it yourself.
