I had a 1998 Pontiac Transport (Montana) with problems because of this Dexcool crap. Spent at least $3000 to get the whole bottom half of my engine redone due to the damages caused by that stuff. GM can burn in Hell for all I care!! So glad I got rid of that headache.

My intake gaskets need to be replaced as we speak. I was thinking about trading it in, I guess I'll get it done if GM pays part of the bill.

Anyhoo, he said that Dex-cool was supposed to be a 100,000 mile antifreeze. The problem is that it is corrosive. Over time, it eats gaskets, hoses, etc. That is what happened to mine. If the intake manifold gasket is breached, the antifreeze gets into your engine oil. That is very, very bad. BTW, before I even knew how much damaged, I had taken the vehicle in to another mechanic I knew. He told me the same thing about Dex-cool. It is corrosive and eats hoses, gaskets, etc. After I had my cousin do the bottom engine rebuild, I had the system power flushed(at my cousin's suggestion) and filled with the old polypropyl (the regular green antifreeze) stuff.

I assume it is. All the more reason why I vowed to never buy another GM. It's not just little wear and tear things that go bad. It's bad engineering and design. That is what pisses me off about that shitty company.

Man, I need to find out if I'm going to get paid. I filled out some paperwork awhile back, but I have never heard anything.
