Re: ATTN Farnsworth - tool info needed I see your point. But I revert back to an earlier statement that I made in another similar thread. In all the years I have drove (I learned on a Datsun pickup w/5 spd at age 11 and got my license at 15) I have never ever seen any other coolant do what DexCool does. I have seen the Yellow coolants, Red ones, Green ones, etc. and Dex Cool is the ONLY coolant that I have ever seen that gels like it does and deposits the crap it can into the cooling system.
I do believe there are other factors at play here that worked in conjunction with the Dex Cool chemistry to cause it to do as it has. Dex Cool is not solely to blame so much. But its chemistry enabled it to react in such a way that no other coolant has and is why it will never see light of day in any vehicle I own again. There is no disputing that some have went long periods with no issues, but the fact that it can occur, coupled with most peoples neglect of cooling systems is just not a good combination in my opinion.
