50:50 if the coolant you buy is uncut. otherwise they do sell premixed antifreeze whick is already cut to 50:50
A 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3 liter engine takes 13.4 quarts of coolant. It is suggest that the coolant be mixed 50/50 with water.
50/50 mixture of DEXCOOL and water
Should be Dex-Cool (orange colored)... Be sure to mix it 50/50 with water (distilled recommended)...
In order of probablility: low coolant level, faulty thermostat, plugged radiator, damaged water pump, collapsing radiator hose.
50/50 for most application
Very helpful!
Check coolant level Test and/or replace thermostat Make sure heater core is not plugged restricted, or air bound Make sure coolant is being circulated by water pump Check heater control switch and /or cable
You need a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze.
Drain the coolant, pull off the top half of the fan shroud take the fan off of the pulley, remove the belt take the coolant hoses off of the pump and take out the four bolts that hold on the pump.
