That stinks Clois! I run distilled water, water wetter and that prestone lube, anti corrosion stuff and have had no problems (so far, about 3 years).

BUT....

When you get the new, or repaired one back in, be sure that something is not using your coolant system as a a ground. Check for voltage in the coolant (not on the radiator) both with everything shut off and also with everything running. Anything over .1V is to much. If you do have more, try shutting down different curcuits, check engine ground straps (first thing to clean and check), try alternate ground locations until you eleminate the cause. Electricity takes the path of least resistance... just make sure it is not your coolant system!
