So I am looking to replace my LDT-465 since its having running problems in the M61 and buy an LDS. So I will be boiling out the radiator and what not during the swap. Is there any recommendations on coolant you guys specifically run? very many cavitation problems? I will be installing a coolant filter kit with the 0 DCA filter from Napa. I know the ford IDIs have bad cavitation problems if you dont keep an eye on the SCA's so I run the Caterpillar ELC 50/50 in all my other diesels since they are good for 300k miles and to -37 below.

Can only find Rotella ELC up here at some truck stops. Walmart nor many parts stores have it. The CAT ELC is around 9.50 a gallon from certain cat places up here which is nice. The rotella and cat have the same specs I believe.
