Tom: Black pepper, no question has all the commercial products beaten by a mile. I fixed a hole size of a lead pencil, in rad of a Chevy dump truck 366 engine. 100,000 miles later it was still going. I have used it numerous times over the years in mainly cars and trucks, and never pluged a heater core. I think my old 6.2 Chevy diesel probably saw 2 lbs of pepper over the years. I recall about 6 times forign objects left holes in two rads. Truck went 400,000 miles in 14 years, never had a new heater core, required two rads and one new water pump. The new rad was result of little towing accident, water pump happened at 350,000 miles. I don't ever recall having to put any in a tractor.

In my home turf highway salt was the big curse on rads, mainly cars and trucks. Tractors tended to be immune from that.
