Dumb radiator/coolant question...

[jdog35]

Hey all. I FINALLY finished fabricating a new bracket for my new radiator (pictures to come in the next few days. I think it's a pretty slick setup considering how non-OEM the new radiator is. So long as it works right?

Anyhoo...I was hoping y'all could point me in the right direction regarding what the proper coolant/water ratio is for this rig. The capacity of the new radiator is almost identical to OEM, so I'm sure whatever the stock specs are will be appropriate.

However, if I have totally missed something, please don't be harsh

Thanks all!

Got pics? I default to a 50/50 mix. What radiator did you use?

Thanks Lamb. That's what I've always done too, but tend to question myself until I get used to a new ride.

I went with a replacement from AutoPartsWarehouse. It's this guy here:

Replacement Radiator

It has a touch more cooling volume than the stock, and with a custom fabing, fit in just right. Pics will probably come tomorrow or Tuesday. I went with this route 'cause I figured it is a lot easier to replace if damaged than the stocker (which I still have but needs to be refreshed/sealed/etc). I'll probably rebuild the OEM I have once I get some down-time and the rig is done, then swap it back in or keep it for a spare. Who knows

Thanks again Lamb!
