hamuel Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 For some reason are little group started talking about coolant. we started talking about engine ice and all of them said it was crap because the stuff didn't lube the water pump seal. Which didn't make me any sensel. ANy truth to this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indubitably Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hmmm I've been running it and never had a problem, I have never heard of that being a problem so I wouldn't worry bout it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 That's bullshit, maybe one of the guys was just trying to make himself sound smart. Engine Ice is the best stuff you can run, much better than regular coolant and much better than watter wetter. It works really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sredish Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Direct link to Engine Ice at RockyMountainATV.com The dealer should order it for you if they don't have it in stock, but some dealers do have it in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 Do you guys run straight engine ice or do you mix it? If you run it straight, what do you use to flush the existing coolant out of there? Reason I ask is because I know the bottle says do not mix with water, and if I flush all the old coolant out there will be water left in the engine to some degree; do you flush the remaining coolant out with the engine ice? How many bottles did you use to fill up your shee? Sorry for all the questions, I just saw this post and had been meaning to ask them....Thanks!!

Titanium Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I'm assuming flush it with some water... I'm pretty sure a little bit of water isn't going to upset the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Run it straight, it says it right on the bottle. "Ready to use". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 but to totally flush the system youll have to pull the radiator cap first to get air there for better flow then pull the freeze plugs on both jugs and pull the water pump plate behind that black plastic cover.

Kg8 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I ran engine ice for a while its good stuff but i stopped using it cuz of the price. and as 4 flushing ure existing coolant out to make sure i got all the water out i take a air hose and a rag and put on the radiator right where the cap goes on then i blow the water out of the jugs, its gets all the water out thats below the drain holes, and as for the rag' that goes between the air nozzle and radiator so it'll keep the air from blowing back out.

That's exactly what I was looking for...THANKS!! I had figured a little water wouldn't bother the ice, just wanted to be sure the coolant wouldn't have any kind of chemical reaction or anything when mixed with the ice...never can be too careful nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
