Lots of people speed on the freeway, but only a few get caught, and all of those caught regret it.

Play "Russian Roulette" with your expensive vehicle, you're the one that has to fix it. Much cheaper and easier to change AF than to replace HGs and IMGs and who knows what else.

You might not have trouble, but then again, you might not have an accident either, but do you drive without insurance?

Everything you read about Dexcool is true. Also it is the cause of global warming er Cooling d@mn Climate Change

dexcool is fine as long as it is properly maintained.


My old Yugo lasted 300,000mi and it was properly maintained. Honestly I never owned a Yugo, but you get the idea.

Before I drove vehicles that were filled with Dexcool, I had a full head of hair.

Now, after many years of driving Dexcool vehicles, I'm bald as a cue ball.

Coincidence?

Was your hair made of plastic??!? Dexcool is a "gambling with dice at a casino"-shoot -you might be just fine, you might have problems-not sure I'd risk it, myself, when there are many safer alternatives readily available. My mechanic (that usually works on my Ford work van) says that Dexcool has made him TONS of money!!
