coolant capicity question

[101st ABN]

I just finished flushing my coolant. What is the capicity of the total system? Added 4 gal of Zerex g 05 wondering if I got the right ratio of coolant/water. Thanks.

The initial fill is 29. 6 quarts/7. 4 gallons. Not sure what the exact fill capacity would be post-flush. I'm about to do this myself so it'd be good info for me too.

Afetr several flushings to make sure all the old stuff is gone, I fill the overflow to the max mark, then put the remainder of 4 gallons in the radiator. Top off with distilled water, the same as I flushed the system with. IIRC, my manual says my '03 holds 27 qts total.

Total system capacity including the overflow bottle is 30 qts. 15 qts would be an exact 50/50 mix. You have 16 qts of coolant and 14 qts of water... good to go !!

Thanks, thought I got enough coolant but wanted to make sure.

The best discussion of this subject I've ever read is now on dodgedieselresource.com under 3rd generation nondrivetrain titled "Radiator Flush". If this post is out of line the mod can delete it.
