YO,
ok, technical questions and stuff for northern ppl.. all yinz warm weather riders cant help i dont think..but maybe?
Ok so this spring i put in water wetter to keep buggy cooler. Works decent in my opinion....that was when it was hot. Ok, now winter is here and its colder outside..and ive got a heater (as do most other folks) Here's my dillema. Last winter and earlier this year (2014) heater worked GREAT, and buggy ran normal temps... This winter, now that ive put water wetter in coolant, it runs considerably cooler. Seriously!! To the point that when im running down the roads in the winter, it wont go over 186..at all. lol If im woods riding it'll get hot and cycle the fan as it should, but im really noticing that the heater actually takes off enough coolant heat that the radiator fan never even has to run, along with the fact that ive got a dillution of water wetter and coolant. Has anyone else noticed this?
ALSO, For what its worth, i DO have the heater bypass block in and functional on my heater. Not the typical Upper and Lower Radiator hose install. Thinkin i may flush it out and put regular coolant in for winter time. haha.
