Diesel Engine Coolant
Anyone ever have coolant turn to pudding? Unfortunately I have. Wonder what would cause that to occur and how do I get it out of the engine.

It's never happened to me, but evidently has happened to folks on a Jeep forum I used to haunt. The common thread seems to be somebody put some of the wrong kind of antifreeze into a system that already had some of the right stuff in it, and the interaction turned to jello. Only way I can think of to clear it out involves lots of water blown forcefully through the system.
X2... mix and match can lead to pudding. Never buy the "Universal" coolant. Only add what's required of your specific engine/chassis. I pay extra for the premix 50/50. Easier to make sure I have the exact amount of antifreeze and demineralized water. The engine costs enough to justify it.
