Going to be changing my hoses out and flush my cooling system, any one ever use water wetter if so did it help? I've heard good things about it but I would hate to use it only to have to flush it again and waste all the new coolent.
Thanks

I've tried it in 2 P/Us, used a digital ScanGauge in both, saw zero, zip, nada difference in coolant temp.

I flushed my system, added new waterpump, thermostat and added some of the Amsoil brand wetter. Between those 4, mine runs about 10 degrees cooler (215-205). Cant really give all the credit to the wetter but I cant take it completely away. I also have heard lots of great things.

In our Tacoma, I added it straight to everything already there an while it does not seem to make it run any cooler... it does seem to make it cool off quicker.

I have never used it in a street legal vehicle but I do know you were stupid not to run it in your TaG kart. We weren't aloud to run real coolant so we had to run Water with Redline's Wetter and it worked perfectly. Redline makes good stuff!

used it on sport bikes, never heard of anyone using it on cars or trucks b4, I think it is geared more towards running on the track, wont slick it up as much as antifreeze if you dump it.

I used it when I was running a stroker.
ZERO difference.
