GM Dexcool Anti-Freeze/Coolant
#21
I've got an '04 Silverado,86,000 miles, the original Dexcool is still clean, and honestly, with all the horror stories I've heard about it, I'm afeared to touch it till it goes bad. I'd just let sleeping dogs lie, for now.

That is when problems are caused. Dont let it go bad, get old then it starts causing problems. I would change it around 100k or so i think that is about how long it is suppose to be good for

ts what do you get for that price? Is it just a drain and flush with water and new coolant added? I'm not trying to argue about any of it either, I am self employed and in my industry there are alot of varibles in the service. As I said earlier 2 flushes with Prestone flush and then Prestone cleaner, flush twice with just water then coolant. I may have gone overkill but you know the old saying you can't put a price on peace of mind.

Dexcool is a good coolant, if you service every 150,000 miles.

He said that the rear differential change would run either $39 or $59, depending upon whether or not it requires synthetic oil. They'd have to run the VIN to be sure. That's something I would not do myself - as I don't have any way to suction it out of there.
you dont suction it out. you unscrew the bolts take off the cover and let it drain. if u can do a oil change then u can SURE do this. its VERY easy plus to put it backa ll you do is buy some gasket maker and put it on the corver screw it back together and pour new diff fluid in. very easy.
