Flush Coolant Flush your cooling system at least once a year. When refilling the system, use a mixture of antifreeze/coolant and water. Typically a 50/50 mix is recommended.

Avoid Sway To keep the tail from wagging the dog, pack your trailer so that 50 to 60 percent of the load is forward of the axle. Make sure the load is evenly dispersed side-to-side.
