Anyone ever use these products from Redline and Royal Purple? Ive heard a couple of people in the past speak highly of water wetter, but not the other stuff. If either one will genuinely make the water stay a tad bit cooler it seems it would be worth it to me.

 

water wetter is good for just a few degrees.... usually they use 'em in muscle cars and stuff.... your truck shouldn't be overheating or even comin close!

 

I used water wetter in my 5.0L and it reduced the temps down quite a bit. I've never heard of the other stuff though....

 

Thanks, I think Im gonna go with the redline, its easily found at my local pepboys, the purple ice is only sold by the case on their website.

 

WaterWetter can't hurt in any vehicle in hot climates but it's especially beneficial to high performance engines. It kept my Eclipse's engine temp very consistent whether I was driving in stop and go traffic or even a day at the road course or drag strip.

 

i wouldnt reccomend using it if you are still using the Toyota "red" coolant, i did on mine, and it seemed to slightly gum things up, mainly on the radiator cap. ive flushed it and have had no other problems. i change my coolant once a year, so neglect was not an issue on gumming.

 

I know when hotrod magazine use royal purple oil and their purple ice on two of their muscle car testers (mustang and chevelle if I remember right), performance increased and temps decreased, but whether it would work the same for your truck I don't know.
