Coolant?

I think I read on here a few years ago that you should check your coolant with a voltmeter to check it's health.  I forget what settings to run and what number range to look for, but the engine coolant i tested checked out well. I guess the stuff goes bad and will cause electrolysis, which is basically what the voltmeter is testing for.

It would probably be fine, but without an aluminum rad (which I doubt you have) nitrite free coolant isn't doing you any good.   The nitrite containing coolant offers better cavitation protection, so they say.   My main choice for all diesels, and I have quite the fleet of old iron; is...   I've been running it in everything for well over a decade.  Maybe 2 decades now
