The Cummins have always been easy with coolant, the reason is the block is solid one piece cast iron. Ford and Dmax use separate cylinder liners.
Say what?????? :h
What part confused you.
Cummins one piece block cylinders are part of the cast block.
Ford and Dmax, cylinder walls are a pressed in sleeve, they need special additives to prevent cavitation (erosion) of the cylinder walls.
Take your pick.
The part that says Dmax or Fords have wet sleeves or the part that says a Dmax needs special additives.
Show me a few links that talk about cavitation boring a hole in a Dmax cylinder and I will go with that. ;)
The only reason the 7.3's mouse holed was because Ford took the 6.9 block and bored it out too thin and the cavitation could bore a hole right through the cylinder.
