I use the Peak Global Lifetime, diluted 60/40 with distilled water.
http://peakauto.com/products/antifreeze-coolants/automotive/global-lifetime-full-strength/

Features a patented non 2-EH formula that is phosphate-free and silicate-free.

I've been very happy with this, and added "water wetter" my van has never ran so cool.

Last summer, I rebuilt the AC and took extra care to make sure the coolant was flushed and filled with the best option I could determine.
Since I only drive my van in the summer (Michigan), and mostly highway with little traffic, I went with the (82-77 degree C) Radiator Fan Switch from Bus Depot.

Here's a great write-up on GW, on the cooling system.

My approach... seems to be working well.

What are your guys thought on Vr12? it adds the additives back into your coolant and creates an optimal pH if you use it every 6 months they claim you'll never have to change your coolant again.  I haven't had the balls to try it on my 2.3 liter gowesty motor so I'm changing the dang coolant every two years like I'm supposed too but I would love to just put vr12 in every
6 months.  Peace tom
