You can go with any aluminum safe coolant - which is just about everything available today.
Well I did just order blue kingsborne wires, so maybe I should try to color match my coolant.

I think I'll probably use Peak Global, I've had good luck with it in the past.

Tuck, cheapest place by far for Magnacores, only $85.90; free ground shipping; part #80242:

View the 04-99 4.0, 4.6 - V8 - Discovery Series II at http://www.apexperformance.net

IMO, what ever brand you get, get 8mm, our engines run too hot for anything with less insulation.

Kingsborne, STI, and Magnacore are all good as long as they are 8mm. As for the coolant, I use Peak Global Lifetime it comes in a gold container and is sold at Walgreens. It is better than the Peak that comes in the blue container and cost almost the same. Change the coolant every two years regardless of millage and quality of the coolant used.

Hahaha. Sorry boys! My two other rides are AWD, and my 3 previous ones were as well. Hard for me to say 4WD! I should just get a big ol' 4X4 sticker for the back to remind me

Yeah right, this is my first one in 2 years...

In other news, everything has been ordered, and I'm patiently awaiting my friendly neighborhood Fed Ex guy... The next step is finding a couple days without rain so I can ride the Buell to work while the Rover is apart.

If I have time, I'll do a little write up with pics on the intake gasket swap.
