Has anybody tried this stuff? Can you tell me if you'd recommend it or not
in a '94 F150? I have an aging cooling system. I am worried about the old
belts developing leaks from all the hot stop-and-go driving going to and
from work every day. My problem is, if I replace the hoses before the
develop problems, then I risk blowing the intake gasket. Basically the whole
system is old, so my theory is, if I don't replace the hoses, I would rather
have the cooling pressure crack on of the hoses one by one instead of the
intake gasket. And I've already replaced two hoses...
But then I discovered this stuff by Pro-Blend.

Somebody with experience or knowledge please let me know what you think
about this product.

This is a joke post right, a lame attempt at spam posing as a
legitimate post?

No... I just came off as a salesman. I'm seriously considering this stuff. I
understand your caution, however. I don't know if the stuff is worthy buying
or not. A salesman wouldn't say that.

I sure hope your belts don't leak, that'd be a real problem.
I have no idea about the pro blend.

Okay, so supposedly you throw this stuff in your cooling system and it helps
keep your coolant temperature from rising excessively - up to 40 degrees.
This sounds like it would help my situation. I just want to know if I could
cause any problems by dropping the running temperature to below normal
during the summer months where the temperature will regularly exceed 100
deg. Fahrenheidt.

Backyard, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this sound like "Water
Wetter"?

I check out Water Wetter... sounds like the same idea. What's wrong with
Water Wetter?

I have never used it myself, but I've heard from others that it works as
advertised when mixed as per the instructions.

There's nothing wrong with water wetter. The engine isn't going to run any
cooler than the
thermostats opening tempature. If you got a 220 degree stat, thats what its
going to run.
What I cant understand is how changing hoses will cause the intake manifold
to crack.
Much better to change before they blow, then be sitting on the side of the
road in BF Egypt
on 100 degree day, and possibly over heat the engine and crack a head or
block, or both,
or blow an head gasket.
