Author Topic: What is over heating temp? stoauto ¯ Member # 2803 posted                              Oh yeah, yeah water does cool better, but no way in hell would i run 80% water in a daily driven vehicle, i'd like to keep my cooling system, cooling if you know what i mean. Coolant raises the boiling point of water which is a must if you run at 210 or hotter all day long (water boils at what 212 is it), and it also lubricates the water pump and prevents corrosion, so why would you want to run almost all water and risk the chance of a failed water pump and/or a clogged radiator?????????????? enjoy how well water cools for a while but its a only a matter of time before something fails.
