Re: 98TJ Rotted freeze-plugs/Bad Antifreeze
That is about exactly what came out of my engine cooling system, brown
soup. I'd be interested in the letter you have from DC. The repair is
being done by the dealer now, so I'm sure it's Mopar antifreeze going
in. To bad the bastards are raking me for $1300. I'll post the
itemized bill later but the work I know they are doing is:
Replace water pump
Replace head and block freeze plugs
Replace radiator
Hopefully nothing else has been rotted out by the quick-lube cooling
system service I had 2 years ago.

Re: 98TJ Rotted freeze-plugs/Bad Antifreeze
Here's an interesting article about different types of coolant. It's
becoming more apparent that using manufacturer specific coolant is more
important that I thought.

Re: 98TJ Rotted freeze-plugs/Bad Antifreeze
indeed.
I had no idea there were so many specific applications/requirements for
antifreeze.
thanks for posting it.
