As I had mentioned in a previous post. When I had that grounding issue and was stuck in 1st gear it caused my rig to overheat and I boiled a bunch of water out and I refilled it with just plain water. Well, I'm going to redo all the fluid in the system. First, what is the best way to drain everything and then refill without getting any air in it. Second, what kind of ratio should I use for the antifreeze to water and should I use some water wetter? Thanks all.

So I just went through almost that same problem. If you want to drain coolant the easiest way is from the underside take off the front middle skid plate there are two coolant lines with screws on them. Remove the screws remove radiator cap drain coolant. Remove rubber coolant line from reservoir tank. Drain that as well I'm going to post a picture what I use to help me.

Check with the manufacturer first... I think it's 1:32 for Water Wetter: Water. Double check though. Royal Purple makes Purple Ice that's similar.

Water::Antifreeze radio is 50:50 to 60:40
