Message: [QUOTE="dmd, post: 693095, member: 1848"] Without coolant you will have cavitation and boil over. There is a reason you need to run what is suggested by the manufacture. As mentioned you are not worried about heat transfer, but about the raising of the boiling point of the water. Take a look at one of the proper coolant bottles or just look it up for the boiling point differences. I was in Death Vally in August in a Gen1 Dodge, they had way too small of a cooling system for that heat, and a giant camper. On the way out I had to stop several times to let the motor cool. The first stop there was this guy who popped the radiator cap almost all of the coolant boiled out (pressure and coolant keep it from boiling). He put in cool water and said that he was cooled off. I let him know that he probably would not make it out of the valley with mostly water... He laughed and said that it would take way too long to let it cool like I was doing.. Letting the truck idle.. Well.. before I had to pull over again I passed him, he was on the side of the road with clouds of steam pouring from the motor. The engine didnt have enough coolant to keep it from boiling now.. We had to stop a few more times before we made it out of the valley. About an hour out we had a tow truck pass us going the other way.. Headed to get the guy.. I believe it was 112-deg that day..
