Does anyone have any experience with this stuff: www.speedwaymotors.com/Pro-Blend-40-Bel ... ,1862.html I have an on going problem with over heating when the motor is working hard. Either the tranny or motor over heats. The cooling system has been checked out and is fine. I think it is a combination of my bumper and the winch. There isn't a lot of air flow. Terry |

pretty much none of the antifreeze additives are safe bets - it simply isn't a good idea to be adding things to our mix have you investigated the option of upgrading the radiator or adding a pusher fan? |

X2............... And might be a good idea to clean real good between the radiator and AC condensor since you play in the mud alot.Mud will build up between those 2 and cut airflow drastically which equals overheating. |

I agree with not bothering with antifreeze additives. most are snake oil and/or may not mix well with our Coolant's HOAT chemistry. I would wash out the radiator and in between the condenser like others said. I take my jeep to the car wash and hose it out after the few times I went wheeling and got in Mud just to be sure my inter-cooler, condenser and radiator weren't clogged up with mud and dirt. |

Was the coolant changed? If the it was did you use the correct HOAT coolant? |
