I've got 19 months on my studs and I've yet to add a drop of coolant..

My truck has 6 years on stock bolts and 1 year with me driving it hard. Have NEVER added a drop of coolant. Love my bolts

My ARP's have been in for a year this coming march and it has a season of towing and racing on it. All is good so far. I do have an EGR cooler delete en route.

She ain't the quickest 6.0, but 2wd launches suck:
