Message: [QUOTE="Mdub707, post: 1251740, member: 107"] I was at 125k miles or so on the original cooler, no issues. I installed a coolant filter at around 75k. I monitored my EOT and ECT and it always stayed in spec, unless I hit a big hill and hammered on it, but that was mostly because I was driving around on blown headgaskets forever. I ended up doing a new cooler anyway when I did gaskets/studs, did a full coolant flush, new radiator, new waterpump (with metal impeller), it's been awesome. Temps are always really close together. I kind of have an odd advantage on telling how well my coolant system is flowing based on how hot my WVO tank in the bed gets, since it's heated and taps into the cooling system. Before, even with the oil cooler working as it should, my "IN" line on my tank was warm, and the "OUT" line coming out of the tank back up to the engine was basically ambient temp. It just wasn't getting good flow. When I did all the new parts, I have HOT lines going IN and OUT now. I think the factory waterpumps are crap too, but I replaced so much I'm not sure if one thing did it or a combination of things. To the OP, you are probably worrying more than you need to, a TON of people use the ELC coolants without issues. Like any coolant, just make sure you maintain the system and it will be fine.
