I have a 2000 Chevrolet ZR2 Blazer with a 4.3L V6 that uses Dex-Cool. I have kept my eye on the coolant level at all times to hopefully avoid the mud Dex-Cool would create if it went too low.
Just the fact that it will start turning into mud if it is low not only greatly worries me but is not acceptable. Antifreeze/Coolant should remain in a liquid form at all times in my opinion.
I am going to flush the Dex-Cool out by using a back flushing kit and a heavy duty chemical flush that you run with water for 6 hours. I am going to do this 3 times to be absolutely and hopefully sure I get all the Dex-Cool and its residue out of my Blazer.
I don't want to use old green since it is slowly being phased out (Prestone no longer sells it to the general public in stores anymore as far as I can tell).
I think it would be safe to use Zerex G-05 in my GM vehicle. Any thoughts?
Thanks In Advance,
