The Zerex G-05 is premixed at 50-50 and only protects to -34.F
Here in the great white North I would recommend 60-40 to allow for -62F (depending on your region) I am sure Ian knows all about the following...
The Chrysler Hoat is not premixed and allows for dialing in your mixture for colder climates.
The label on photo below spells out the directions.
If you are doing your own flush I would use 70 percent Hoat as lots of water in the block remains and will weaken the mixture. Don't use tap water to mix!
Note I recently had a dealer flush and I stipulated a -62F setting, no problem they said. I guess their machine is adjustable.

Try pressure testing the system with it not runing to find the leak.
Some auto parts will let you use one for a deposit and will return your deposit when you return the tester. Its fairly easy to do and make sure you clean your Liberty up when the leak is fixed.
I think I would be more like Tjkj and do it like he said but thats me. I would also put water in it to pressure test it with out runing it and if it passed drain and fill with Hoat.

Hmm, I don't get it, Big Dan. My bottle of Zerex G-05 sitting in my garage has mixing instructions:

70%/30% Zerex/Water- Freeze -84/Boilover 276
60%/40% Zerex/Water- Freeze -62/Boilover 270
50%/50% Zerex/Water- Freeze -34/Boilover 265

The G-05 has two versions. One Premixed and one that is straight up 100%.
LibertyFever posted the ready to use version (premixed)
Good to know..G-05 can be found full strength.
I still would buy the dealer Hoat and do my own mix.

I Fixed the little crack in the front drivers side for now. When it leaks again I'll buy a new rad. but on a side note.. I'm a *******, forgot to fully twist the cap on my overflow tank and when driving last night, it popped up and it emptied my cooling system. luckily it was in publix parking lot so I could run in and grab some coolant.

Same thing happened to me and it happened RIGHT when I stopped at the pump to get gas.
Left about half the coolant in the tank though. lol



Now that you're rad is all good, you need an EVIC! :D

Ive had one for a while now lol got it on ebay for like $20 made a harness and installed it like 6 months ago.
