alti117 is on a distinguished road
how would i go about getting all the water out of places like the heater core and other pipes, should it all flow to the lowest point?
another thing i had read about was a gurgeling coming from the heater core im not sure what the problem ended up being but iv heard it once in my car in the month that iv owned my car.

Heavy flushing, gadren hoses work well. but I've never done that to the Alero.

When I had the LIMG replace, my mech used a unverisal antifreeze which is better than dex-cool and compatable with all coolants. I'll have to ask him about it

Damn skippy. Someone please tell me that I must have somehow missed the thread here warning everybody to STOP USING DEX-COOL. I mean, you guys didn't feel that was pertinent info? Could this also be what's ruining the LIM gasket?

-edit-

Always research BEFORE you post. Keeps you from lookin like an ass later (advice to myself)

I wished I had known about dex-cool. I'm on my second engine that will eventually crap out on me probably in the near future. I'll post up pics of my coolant reservoir tomorrow. A brand new was installed earlier this year but to look at it now, it's like rust has settled at the bottom and on the cap. I'm surprised there's no kind of lawsuit against GM. So in actuality, does the defectiveness of our cars rest solely on faulty LIM gaskets, or are the gasket probably good and it's the dex cool eating away at them

And keep using that SEARCH button
