Posted for EricG:
First of all, I sure love my 300C SRT8. You guys did a great job with the car. I'm having what could be a problematic symptom with my coolant. It seems cloudy or milky like there is some kind of sediment floating around. Here's some photos and a little more info if you have time to read it:
Cloudy coolant - any thoughts/answers?
First of all, are you guys aware they overfill the coolant at the factory? Just seems so boneheaded - I know it's not you doing it.
What may be causing this coolant condition? It tested to -40 yesterday, my dealer is going to replace the reservoir next week and then we are going to flush it and see if it clouds up again. Have you seen this on your SRT track experience cars? Have you ever seen a 6.1L headgasket blowout or cause problems?
My car currently runs fine - very strong and my dealer mechanic says I shouldn't be too worried about this. I have read where one of your engineers described the 6.1 cooling system as "robust as we make". There are several other people with a similar condition to mine. Thanks for the help, keep rockin' it and I'll see you at a track experience in 2007!
