Default Dex Cool
What do you guys think about running the GM antifreeze Dex Cool in my new motor? I hear it's supposed to be good on aluminum.

I would NOT recommend running dex cool. I have seen what it does to plenty of GM's over the years. Stick w/ what came in the car, you'll be glad you did.

I deal with dexcool all day long.It does have a problem with gumming up coolant components.I wouldnt put it in there.Leave it for the GM vehicles.Stick with the green antifreeze.
