• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Name that crud!

That's what I thought. There's almost nothing that could rust in the system. From the amount of glop that was in the coolant, you would expect to see something rusted completely out if it were actually rust. Must be Dexcool gone wild.:rolleyes:

I saw your pictures yesterday and have been trying to figure out what could have possibly have rusted. Like you say, must be different types of ani freeze.
Guess I better pay more attention to what I pour in the radiators....
 
Mine was exactly the same. Put some radiator guards on the other day after about 6 months from new and when I disconnected the rad hoses, same gunk (and stunk like pee). I assumed the place I bought the bike from just put water in during prep. Is the coolant pump impeller steel?
 
I have drained ick from our Huskys, but never looked that bad. Thank goodness you got that out of there.

I run the pre mixed PEAK 50/50 coolant in everything. If PEAK was (is) good enough for the Pro Circuit race team, it's good enough for me. :thumbsup:
