Default Complete Switch From HOAT to OAT Coolant.

2005 Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI 87,500

​​​Replacing my radiator and T-Stat. Hoses And a thorough flush. That said there will be no orange HOAT left in the system. And a virgin radiator atat this point can I upgrade to the OAT purple coolant package.

Secondly my new replacement radiator needs painting.
How does everyone feel about Eastwood Radiator Black rattle can paint. Chose this one due too its viscosity and high temp
Capabilities. But I need a second alternative paint because shipping is a week away?
any suggestions?

Curious as to the reason why since HOAT is specified for that year. Do you just think the purple is prettier, or can you get OAT cheaper or.....?

It's like this Captain Morgan. I absolutely think that OAT is prettier than HOAT. And I think that it would be an upgrade.
heres a comparison that maybe you can understand. When your wife looks at you with disappointment in her eyes.
But thinks of the young tan tone pool boy or the hot cocktail waitress it's because it's an UPGRADE to a younger
Fresher PRETTIER model than yourself. Captain Morgan is a good look for you. You wear it well.

I do understand that keeping to what the owners manual says is what I should be doing.
For my year make and model.
But just entwining the idea.


I ask my origional question of coolant upgrade / conversion question. Is it possible too convert switch over too
OAT from HOAT coolant with a complete clear fluid running flushed system and brand new dry radiator T stat
And hoses. ? ?

Reason I ask is I think that the new coolant package would be better than the old orange version.

*Here's
*eyes, but
*toned
*younger, fresher, prettier
*entwining lol? *entertaining perhaps?
So English isn't your strong suit, gotcha. Funny, but after that I am absolutely convinced that's the reason lol. Ya know, when you haven't got clue one as to what you're doing with your vehicle (as evidenced by your other posts) and you're like, "oooh, purple and new. I bet it's better just because it's purple and new". Because why not purple, since someone was a careless retard and broke their $hit.....while detailing? I mean, how stupid do you have to be break your own vehicle doing......that?
Yes, yes you can put the pretty purple **** in as long as you do a complete flush and don't forget the heater core (most people do). Try not to break the f@cking heater core and your new radiator, dumbass bwahahahahahaha

I don't think you have the requisite equipment, but enjoy my leftovers (I get the impression you're used to leftovers). Try not to accidentally break something lol.
