What would the purpose of that be? Or are you just drawn in by the FUD that is spread about Dexcool? If so, have a read through the whole "WHO'S HAD GOOD LUCK WITH DEX-COOL" thread before you respond back.

Yes i've read a few pages of that thread. I think it eat up my heather core and my radirator. I was also told by my auto teck and many other Chevy nut's that's why your manifold gasket starts leaking on Blazers with more than 90K miles.

Read through the rest of that thread and you will see that the manifolds leak because of the water in the coolant and its affects on the cage around the intake manifold gaskets. So the "coolant" in the coolant is not the problem. Replacing it with green does absolutely nothing to the underlying issue. GM remedied this on many different engines with a similar LIM gasket construction by changing the design of the gaskets to use a metal cage instead of plastic. Problem solved.

The problem with what your auto tech and the other chevy 'nuts' is that they are stating hearsay and conjecture as fact without any investigation of their own, hence my FUD comment earlier. Read through that entire thread when you get a chance. It is very informative.
