This should help. Going to drain and fill the system a couple times with tap water. Flush with deionized. Any suggestions on conventional coolant.
The peak global lifetime or the or zerek G05? Both seem like winners.
Might smear a little gray rtv/hondabond on the gasket prior to install.

On new builds or when i've flushed the system and don't want to use OEM for whatever reason I use Prestone all vehicle pre-mixed green ... I've been using it for over 20yrs and 15 vehicles with no issues.

Now's a good time to try something. I have thought about purchasing a Gen 1 pump with metal impeller and pressing out the impeller and bearings to "rebuild" my Gen 2 pump.

Anyone ever done this and been successful?

I've got my old gen 2 pump, so I may give this a shot.

I've been using dexcool in mine for over 6 years. change it every 2 years. Its essentially Mopar orange, even says it works with newer Dodges on the bottle.

Get some cometic aluminum core gaskets. No need for RTV.

this. Either RTV or gasket. I never get why people use both. Both work better alone imo

This is exactly what I did, except I used the FlowKooler impeller. Better than new.

Why not just buy a billet impeller?
