RE: [Chevelle-List] Dexcool or other ELCs?
A lot of guys on the Impala SS list (94-96 list) hate dexcool. The impalas have a problem with the heater core blocking up thus not throwing any heat. For a long time everybody blamed it on Dexcool. I think the final conclusion is that it is believed GM put a few clay tablets in the radiator at the factory just to be safe. This brown clay crap is now believed to be the heater core clogging problem. I flushed my Impala 2 years ago and replaced it with Dexcool again. So far I have not had my heater core clog again. I think what I am trying to say is Dexcool is probably ok. BTW, what does ELC stand for? Mark
Re: [Chevelle-List] Dexcool or other ELCs?
Brad, About 2 years ago I decided, "what the hell?", and put the orange coolant in my freshly rebuilt AHEM... 1987 Ford Mustang 5.0. Although I had no scientific evidence, it seemed to work fine, and that's what I ran until I got rid of it about a year later. Plus, the factories use it in brand new cars, so there shouldn't be a problem. Dan McIntosh
[Chevelle-List] Dexcool or other ELCs?
I suppose this is topical as it involves a TH350 but non- topical as it involves my '78 C10...but might be a worthwhile discussion for those considering engine swaps. Has anyone used Dexcool or another extended-life coolant in a freshly rebuilt engine/new radiator combo? My understanding is that maintaining coolant level is critical with the ELCs but other than that I don't know a whole lot about them...
