Sad

 

WERD Thanks what Im talking about.

Oh well you gotta do what you gotta do. Im not gonna sit and listen to some goober talk $hit and not say anything back. This is a free country, if you wanna try to take away my right to free speech then go ahead, just remember what country you live in

 

i agree, i like the orange personally. have had zero probs don't know what you girls are whining about

 

ha how can everyone rely on the manufacturer and what they say....they are willing to charge you $1200 to change out your plugs and wires....therefore how could you take their word on it....im not expert when it comes to motors but i dont see myself relying on the dealer to tell me how to treat my car ....he'll say anything he can just to get your business at high dollar when it breaks down.

By the way... think of the people who work in retail...they are gonna tell you that you need somethin just to make money....hopefully itll break down and you'll be back or they will sell you somethin outrageous hoping that maybe it will work for you and they'll make mass commission....

...I'd rather rely on people from this board than a dealer....

 

Just remember that posting on this site is a privilege, not a right. I might also add that this right can very easily be taken away.

I suggest you take it down a couple of notches InjectedSS, if you want to stick around here anyways. No more name calling and ridiculing. There are ways to make your point without acting the fool. I suggest you either try them or leave.

 

intresting, not trying to get in the middle but wasn't there someone else involved here to? you seem to be lecturing only one person maybe you should try seeing the whole picture. if someone called me a jack *** and to me to blow them id go off too. just my two cents

 

not to point fingers, but wasnt there someone else who referred to me as stupid, on a subject they clearly don't know everything about?

 

Making lots of new friends aren't ya Drew?

 

Yep...Lawyers lining up to sue GM. I guess thats a good indicator of the truth.

GM can use my 300k Pontiac Grand Prix, its pristine cooling system and original water pump as a defense any time. My wife's 95 Monte Carlo has 126k on it & the original water pump too. Just kept them topped off and changed at 100k. Dexcool works. The only problems with it are related to the cooling system getting air whipped into the coolant. Leaky radiator caps and failure to maintain the coolant level over time cause this.

If you believe trial lawyers, you need to get your head out of their ***.

 

After reading this thread I'm glad I'm using Evans NPG+ waterless coolant

 

Life lesson #101, Lawyers are not interested in justice or civic duty, they are interested in money. Especially when it comes to suing large corporations.

I didn't say mudding couldn't happen BTW, but it is easily avoided by doing things that most people with a brain stem would do anyway. Keep the system full and use a good cap.

If you don't know how to test a cap or have tools to do it (I do) go do a dealer and get a NEW cap when you flush the cooling system. They are only about $6-8.00.

I have not owned a car since 1996 (when dexcool was introduced) that hasn't had Dexcool in it. I don't even keep regular coolant around because if a car comes to me, that is what it gets when it leaves. The stuff works and keeps the cooling system cleaner than silicated coolant.

 

Lets be diplomatic.After all,this is a help post.If everybody starts arguing,then what is the original poster left to think?.Previous posts have shown that people who get upset,simply disapear, then come back as a new member,then disapear completely .Just use what makes you happy.This subject has been beat

en to death for a long time.Got beer?
(spelling check)

 

no one ever said believe trial lawers, but there have been a lot of reported troubles with dexcool. its not the worst, but i dont think its great either.

not really disbelief, but id like to see 1, a grand prix with 300k on the original motor, and 2, 300k on an original waterpump. longest ive seen a gm pump last is 110k

 

My dad has a 1992 Bonneville SSE with 180,000 miles on it. - Original water pump. And I converted it over to Dexcool about 2 years ago, still no sludge.

After 100,000 miles, any waterpump on any car owes you nothing it could crap out at any moment. I don't see where GM water pumps are inferior to Honda or Toyota waterpumps in this respect.

 

My experience with Dexcool:

I bought the car in the sig in September, 1996. I changed the coolant for the first time in May 2003 at about 90,000 miles. No problems. So I went beyond the recommended interval and still had no problems with gelling or water pump failure. YMMV
