Re: Electrolysis in aluminum radiator - Help
If you remove the battery's from the car. Do you have voltage? If you don't you might have a bad battery. Also is the radiator got rubber mounts on top and bottom. I don't no if you have tried these things or not. Might help and might not

Re: Electrolysis in aluminum radiator - Help
What's the pH of the coolant?
Two dissimilar metals in the presence of an electrolyte = battery. |

Re: Electrolysis in aluminum radiator - Help
there could also be bad grounds in other circuits. Measure the voltage in the radiator and turn on every circuit one at a time. if you get a voltage jump. if you get a voltage jump. You found your bad ground.

Might also try using water only, Also Ground each head to the chassis and ground the radiator to the chassis.
Another product that we have used is Bar's leak coolant additive. https://barsleaks.com/product/coolin...ith-anti-rust/ |
