Your coolant that is now in the engine will need to be fully flushed out , it is probably highly out of the PH range. Does your shifter cable seem to hard to move? If it is a bad ground it will try to use it as an alternative.

I got the report back from Empire Caterpillar today. The said coolant was cloudy & Nitrate level was low. Also, here's some specs
BP (boil point) 104 FP (freeze point) -31 GL (glycol) 36 PH 8.6 CON (conductivity) 1103 I talked to the lab tech & they recommended flushing everything with clear distilled water or conditioned water which was mentioned here. He was recommending ELC coolant but said there was no reason the green shouldn't be fine. I will also use conditioned or distilled water. I'm also going back to see if my grounds are actually ground. Brass plugs this time. Quanta is out of paint so I'm on hold for that now...UGH. Always something Any other thoughts? I'll start on it on Monday....thank you, Joe
