| Gmc/gm filled my jimmy at the factory with dexcool. dexcool is invasive and destructive to the vechicle i paid over 35 k for gmc/gm has sent service sheets to their dealerships with instructions to be followed exactly to purge the contamination from the cooling system. gmc/gm has hidden this problem because of the number of vechicles involved. gmc/gm has used the consumer as their scapegoat. blammed the consumer for the 100,000 mile plus coolant they have used. go to the internet explorer type in dexcool in search. cooling system is the subject.www.scuderiaciriani. com is the location. go to antifreeze then scroll to date:sun 2 apr 2000 23:42:41-0500 the applications engineer is very specfic about the affect. ford had transmissions,firestone had tires. will it take someone or someone's wife and children to become at a disadvantage due to the cooling system and be injured attacked or killed for this factory issue to be addressed? the first time i reached my wife the problem was a covered up $700.00 repair. there is a damm good posibility that their have been injuries because this problem hasn't been addressed and the people you are supposed to be saving have no clue the problem could have been avoided if they only knew!*ak | |||
