I Decided To Put In The 180 Degree My Self
After Only A Little Bit Of Anti Freeze Came Out
I Filled It Back Up With Prestone
Is That Ok Or Did I Mess It Up ???

The coolant for these trucks has to be Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT). If you put the green stuff in it you need to take it out.

Its not going to do anything if you take it out for a little spin, but if I were you I would go tomorrow and get the proper coolant. Flush the entire system and add the proper amount of hoat coolant. These trucks are not made to run on the green stuff!

Your owners manual will tell you how much you need. I cant recall off the top of my head and I don't want to give you the wrong info. All most all your big auto stores will carry it and they can point you in the right direction on which one to purchase.

Make sure you use distilled water when you are adding to your mixture. Water out of the hose will cost you big time down the road.

Didn't understand what you were asking lol. I cant give you a number but I will say that the mods you have added will give your truck better fuel economy, acceleration, and drivability.

If you're not getting the Mopar HOAT coolant at the dealership, the best alternative would be Zerex G-O5. You can get it at NAPA for almost half the Mopar price.

on the move..

The 2013's don't use HOAT which is orange in color. They use OAT which is purple and should not be mixed with anything but what it takes.

I bought the Zerex G-O5 from Orileys. Just mixed it 50/50 with distilled water.
