96 2.2 Dex cool or not?

Bob Urz 4 May 2005 08:47:28
 I am just getting my 1996 S10 2.2 put back together after an
unfortunate incident of bending all 8 valves. Since its apart,
drained and has a new head gasket, what about antifreeze now? Its
had Dex cool in it since it was new. Just over 100K now.
Is there any reason to stay with dex cool? What about the sealer pellets?

Bob

Are all the cooling system componets clean? Any water pump or heater
core problems? If not why not Dexcool? It's done it's job for 100k.
Does not matter about the sealent except that it might make you
feel better... You might save a couple dollars by switching though.
I would use the Dexcool.

Yes: Because that's the chemistry specified for this system.

I'll agree with Daniel on this one. Dexcool has its advantages.
Longer coolant life, easier on water pump seals. It doesn't tolerate
air in the system very well though. Make sure your 'burp' the air out
of the passages.

Regards, Al.

Any gasket that touches the coolant including head gaskets, the heater
core (no copper, no solder), the radiator (no copper-containing alloys,
no solder). Little stuff like that :-)­

 I will go with regular antifreeze and no pellets. the pellets are made for
leaks and the deposit on everything coolant travels and goes. Dexcool it is
corrosive and in plain said a nuisances.
