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....

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.

sure no one has ever had a problem with dexcool. that is why so many lawyers are lining up to sue gm.
get your head out of your ***. dexcool is a short ride to a bad cooling system.

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 ***.

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.

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
