Hello, I just bought an 87 Chevy Blazer Silverado edition with a 350 engine. I cant for the life of me find what coolant to use in the radiator. Can somone help? Thanks!

 

Standard green, unless it already has something different in it now. You don't want to mix different types.

 

Thanks, so a 50/50 green?

 

Yup.

 

Awesome, thank you very much!

 

Yep, exactly what Tom said. Regular old green, unless you got weird stuff in there

 

ah geeze i researched this **** like crazy and i kept getting, use Preston orange 50/50 so i bought it already prepping for a full coolant, rad, heater core flush with a new thermostat.
is that wrong if i put in in ?
this is why i need a mechanic friend in real life where we can talk about all of this in a hour conversation. i ****ing hate the google internet for answers.
talking to educated people ( like you awesome people ) is much more important!

that's great to know the slit is supposed to be there thank you.
as far as all the RC pieces are there I'm not sure i bought it like this and as soon as i drove it up a big hill my check engine light flashed and came on with a burning smell from my interior vents.
i took it to 3 mechanics and nobody wanted to touch it.
i finally took it to a diagnostic specialist who found my catalict convertor to be clogged and i found my boots to be torn when they lifted it up ,. i didn't know were or what to look for when i bought it i just loved it.
to bad the kid was a skid and didn't tell the problems and charged me a large price tag for it, said he paid 1500 for the tires alone.
anyways i paid 3 grand to get it fixed and the tires rub pretty bad and there's a clunking noise when i turn left only. that's why i was posting the pic, i thought i found the problem myself and was looking for the correct name of the part.
it feels like i cant go off roading at all. i have to come to a complete stop to turn left without noise.
i took it to 5 mechanics so far and the last one was Canadian tire and they said everything was tight and fine but had no answers for the rubbing noise.

I've been wanting to get some **** done myself before i came back so i had some good news to say because I'm slightly jealous of peoples knowledge, i wanted to fit in and not seem so green haha
like the anti freeze that's supposed to go in.....

 

Trev your K5 is sick mang !!! love the height!!

 

unless my 2005 S10 does take orange anti freeze and i was mistaken on his question because he has a different year and model

 

sorry i totally posted all this in the wrong feed, my bad. i should pay more attention to where i post.
