Here is a look at how the Dukes and other teams that recently made the jump to college football’s highest level have fared. James Madison joined the FBS in 2022, the first program to elevate from the FCS in four years. The Gamecocks, who will receive a reported $1.3 million in a meeting of Gamecocks at South Carolina on November 4, are 7-22 against FBS opponents. Keeler, whose first head-coaching job was at Rowan (NJ) University, has a career mark of 259-100. He won a national title at UD in 2003 and took the Blue Hens to the national title game in 20. Keeler, who succeeded Fritz in 2014, is 85-27 in nine seasons in Huntsville after arriving from Delaware, his alma mater. They won it all during the revamped 2020 season, which was pushed back to spring 2021 due to the pandemic. Starting with a 14-1 campaign under Willie Fritz in 2011, the Bearkats went to the FCS playoffs nine times in an 11-year stretch. Sam Houston State was an FCS power for much of the past decade. Rodriguez, whose coaching timeline includes stints at Arizona (2012-17), Michigan (2008-10) and West Virginia (2001-07), has a career mark of 172-121-2. Last season was Rich Rodriguez’s first in northeast Alabama, which resulted in a 9-2 campaign. The Gamecocks played for FCS supremacy in 2015, losing to North Dakota State. Starting with Bill Clark’s lone season as coach in 2013 and continuing through the end of John Grass’ tenure in 2021, JSU had six seasons of at least 10 wins. That's progress.Both programs have enjoyed much recent success. But we didn't have many engines with lots of aluminum content in those days. I liked the oldĭays when you bought a jug of antifreeze and you could use it knowing it wouldn't harm your engine. Silicate free requirement of Japanese OEMs.Phosphate free requirement of European OEMs.Texaco Extended Life Coolant System meets: Based on that information it is a suitable substitute for use in Japanese OEM's. I found the following information in the Texaco Extended life coolant specifications. Naturally manufacturers all say the OE stuff should be used. But they usually have a disclaimer to say check your vehicle service requriements. I know most antifreeze jugs will say it compatible with all types of coolant. I don't know how long the Super Long Life Coolant has been used and knowing that information makes a difference in what type coolant should be used. If what I read is correct Toyota has used two different types of red coolants. I did some research when I responded to this thread and learned that earlier Toyota's had a red coolant and it was a normal Glycol coolant requiring regular changes. I noticed my 2004 Tacoma has the Super Long Life Coolant requiring the first change in 10 years or 100k miles. Around 95-96 GM started using the extended life coolant. (ASTM D4985-03 Standard Specification for Low Silicate Ethylene Glycol Base Engine Coolant for Heavy Duty Engines Requiring a Pre-Charge of Supplemental Coolant Additive (SCA) )Īll vehicles I have ever owned proir to the Tacoma came with the typical geen antifreeze requiring a change every two years. (ASTM D3306-03 Standard Specification for Glycol Base Engine Coolant for Automobile and Light-Duty Service) I believe the 4485 tells us it meets heavy duty trucks and Industrial engine requirements requiring an additive (SCA) The 3306 is telling us it's a Glycol base coolant. I found these descriptions of ASTM D3306 and ASTM D4885. They aren't willing to gamble against the factory recommendations. Or for more information do a Google search, "mixing red and green Coolant"Ĭhanging may not damage an engine but most professionals feel it's best to use what the manufacturer recommended. For more information about mixing red and green antifreeze see this article that was in Car & Driver about two years ago. It's too difficult to get all the old coolant drained from an engine. If you have red antifreeze it's not a good idea to replace it with the old green or yellow antifreeze. Get it wrong and the coolant can eat away aluminum engine components. The cooling protection is the same for both types but the corrosion protection may be different. The manual reads to use the Toyota coolant or a similar high quality ethelene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate, and non-borate coolant with a long-life hybrid organic acid technology.) My 2004 Tacoma has the long life coolant and the first change is 100k or 120 months and every 50k or 60 months thereafter. I don't know how long Toyota has used Super Long Life Coolant, but if your truck uses it mixing it with a jug of WalMart Prestone may not be a good idea. I don't think it's as simple as switching to a major brand antifreeze.
