Default How much coolant?

I drained the fluid when I cleaned the radiator...how much dexcool/water does it take? I know it should be a 50/50 mixture. Thanks! :thumbs:

If memory serves, system fill is 3.8 gallons. Two gallons of antifreeze will be fine.

By the way, how do you like your PCMforless programming?

Does that include the overflow tank?

I would assume so since it's part of the system.

It looks like we have pretty similar engines set-ups. I was curious how your power, mileage, etc. were before and after his tuning. Have you dynoed, or will you? Thanks for letting me borrow your thread!

I will dyno after I get his programming in. It will probablt be after June 18th though. I leave for my 2 week annual training on Tuesday and won't be home until then. :flag My engine has much more power since the replacement and LT4 Hot Cam, headers, and magnaflows. I can't wait for the programming! :thumbs:

I'm waiting on Stainless Works to get the headers right for an automatic and then I can dyno tune. Keep me posted on here or email any time. Thanks.
