All,
I have recently become aware that there is a controversy raging about the integrity of DexCool. Please do your own research on the Internet and make your own decision.
There are a number of Class Action lawsuits pending against GM concerning the use of DexCool. Litigants are claiming that DexCool causes corrosion, degradation of gasket material and clogging of the cooling system. GM has not yet admitted the validity of these claims. And, they probably never will.
I have taken this seriously as I have two late model GM vehicles and a Boss Hoss 502. I have changed the coolant in all my vehicles to one of the long standing, generally available coolants. I figure it is cheap insurance for very expensive vehicles. CAUTION, if you do this, you must get ALL the DexCool out of your cooling system as it is not compatible with any other coolant!
