Matt are you planning on doing the lower gaskets anytime soon?
I am loving my Prestone Thus far... I have had it in the 92 Mitsubishi Galant for 5 years now... The stuff still looks good but its due for a flush...
When I have to get a new radiator for either 91 Bonneville I will use the Prestone Longlife... After seeing my lower gaskets I am a believer

Will what I'm trying to say is that Gaskets are broken down by the DEX the two were never meant to ever be together.
the regular Gaskets will work fine with Prestone but there must be something in the DEX that doesnt like the Regular Gaskets

I think this is the result of Death Dex. Wren chime in, you remember the Squirrel Project?

Why did GM even start using Dex-Cool
Why did GM even start using Dex-Cool in the first place? None of the other car manufactures use it and it produces results such as the link shows. :?:

What'* strange is that my parent'* truck runs DexCool. I have been keeping an eye on it every time I go out to see them. Their'* seems to be fine still, nice bright pink and no slime in their radiator that I can see. They have a '99 Sonoma with a 4 cylinder engine.
So, I don't get why it obviously hurts our engines, but some seem to be fine...?

I smell a recall in the future
