NEVER has the gauge showed an elevated temp.


It just shows how overbuilt the stock cooling system is.

Running pure water and pure antifreeze will not effect the temperature, unless the cooling system is at the limits. What the higher specific heat means is that it has the CAPACITY to pull more heat away. Not that it nessecarily will.

What I am trying to say is, you are wasting your money. Running pure anti-freeze has no benifits. If you are running 4 lo in the sandy desert a lot, it might actually cool worse. I'm not saying you must run 50/50 or your car will overheat.
