    I thought about that. Even 1/2 gallon of coolant will lower the freeze point of the cooling system. I just don't want to mess around trying to drain the water from the radiator by removing the lower hose while so dark and cold out. I may just add some coolant to the radiator before I leave, just top be certain. I just wanted someone to chime in on this and tell me if it is worth the risk. Thanks Scottydoggs.
    BTW, do you know Steven Banom? He is from NJ also.
