Well after a few days of "Daddy can I" and "Honey will you" I should have some time to get back into this over the weekend.
I am running the premix 50/50 coolant (new thermostat and a year old radiator cap). I do not have any excessive smoke coming out of the exhaust. No antifreeze smell and no coolant in my oil. One thing I did notice by leaving the scanner hooked up is that the coolant temperature will get up to 230 and then drop back down to the 174 range. Most of my driving is on flat ground so it usually stays around the 174 mark. When I do come to some big hills or stop and go city driving the temperature will increasing to the 230 and then back down to the 170. Which I think I should expect (seems like getting hot then thermostat opening and cooling down) it's just the temperature swing seems a little vast to me. But maybe it is right where it should be. The temperature gauge on the dash stays right in the middle the entire time.
I will get some ECU pictures this weekend.
Thank you
