Default Re: Dexcool

I have had several vehicles with Dexcool and not had one problem. My buddy has 125,000 miles on his 1996 Chevy Z71 truck and just changed the coolant this last week. He only did it because he plows snow with the truck and figured his luck would run out sooner or later with the original hoses, I saw the old coolant sittig a pan in his shop, looked very good.

My 1999 K2500 Suburban went over 100,000 miles in 4 yrs and the coolant looked as good as new. The system was never touched.

I think a lot of the problems with Dexcool it the owners. I know one guy who added the green stuff to his car because he said the Dexcool was too expensive. As far as I know nothing has happened yet but he would not tell my anyway.

Kind of funny about the Prestone guy bad-mouthing a Texaco product. I never believe those stories, sounds to much like bashing a competitor who may have a better selling product.

Trouble with many things is when people see "good for 150,000 miles" then tend to never check things and then when something happens, they want to blame something or somebody but not their actions or inactions.
