so far I have worked on some that have been mixed and it is very costly to clean the mix out and thay have had overheating problems ever since.
I found one that the mix got hard like concrete vating the block and head didn't do it and then the heat cleaning also didn;t do it hammer , chisle and drill also couldn't open it up.Should i Keep the Dexacool coolant or change to the Green Coolant after having the intake gasket replaced?get the green stuff, since really coolant should be flushed every couple of years anyway. i always thought dex cool was more of a gimmick than anything.
Do what Jeff B recommends a few paragraphs down and use good Fel Pro gasket set. never had any problems with cars we used those on. GM gaskets would fail again in another 30-50k miles.Should i Keep the Dexacool coolant or change to the Green Coolant after having the intake gasket replaced?flush with ivory soap for about three hours. pour the whole bottle in your radiator, fill with garden hose. let it run until it gets hot, then open your pitcock valve and leave your hose going until you have nothing but clear water coming out...
replace with regular antifreeze (Green). flush every 25000 miles or two years (depending on where you live) The hotter the weather, the more often you flush...like texas or arizona.Should i Keep the Dexacool coolant or change to the Green Coolant after having the intake gasket replaced?obviously you did your homework on this one. definitely get that crap Dex-cool out of there.55,000 miles. I've replaced intake gasket on 98 s-10 pick-up 4.3L with 42,000 miles on it. customer was pissed it only lasted 42,000 miles. i told him to do a search on Dex-cool antifreeze at ask.com and he came back to tell me how crappy that stuff is. we put a chameleon antifreeze in his truck, its like Prestone's %26quot;all makes all models%26quot; antifreeze.
芦Good Luck禄Should i Keep the Dexacool coolant or change to the Green Coolant after having the intake gasket replaced?Do not mix the green coolant in with the dexcool. It turns into a slimey goo! The yellow stuff IS compatible with both and our shop has switched to it with great success. You should put dexcool back in it if you want the best results, but it does not last 100k like they claim. A lot of the problems with the intake gaskets can be cured with the new Fel pro metal backed gasket set. A lot more expensive, but well worth it.Should i Keep the Dexacool coolant or change to the Green Coolant after having the intake gasket replaced?if you can be sure to get all the orange shitty antifreeze out, id def goto green, dexcool one on gms dumbest ideas, also thry make the new coolant that can mix with both but i wouldnt trust it
