    Definition of COMPLEAT
    So....I bought a $135,000.00 2020 Pete and choose to use tap water from a rubber hose to top off my cooling system although the Mfg said Do Not Use ordinary household water. LOL

    Back in 1964 my dad would put water in his truck and mix in a green liquid and his truck was always overheating on those 110 degree days in Texas.

    That’s a brand, not a word as in from a dictionary. I’m sure you see my point.

    It’s a clever spelling of bright to stand out.

    USXpress. There’s another. Is xpress a word?

    Fake words are simply made up words that appear to be real, but actually don't exist and don't have any meaning. That is called nonsense. Nonsense. noun. nonsense words or sounds seem like ordinary words but they have no meaning.

    I had a problem with the red Texaco brand, years ago when it first came out. I think it was the same as GMs Dex cool. Truck sat for 4 months, it gelled up. Went back to green with distilled up until recently. Last few yrs it’s been Peak pre mix final charge. So far so good. Just changed out original 20 tr old radiator. Final charge seems good, but it’s low phosphate, not no phosphate. Seems no phosphate and no nitrate would be best. It always tests good though. Never had to add any supplements. Just changed radiator and used new final charge again. I was told that “Truck” antifreeze has more anti foaming agents, or something that keeps cavitation down.I don’t know if that’s true. But after blowing 2 head gaskets on my Last Detroit. First time about 500k Repaired by Detroit, with a new head. Then again at 825, causing the liner to drop. I’m playing it safe,
