In the Jan '07 issue of "Corvette Fever" a writer informs tech adviser Jeff Berhardt that Quick Lube places and a GM dealer state that cars using Dex-Cool are much more prone to coolant leaks and that you don't want to convert because the orange coolant frequently turns to a "jell-like" consistency. Bernhardt agrees with him, stating that they put Dex-Cool in a '60 Corvette 283 and it "leaked in places where there were no places". Converting back to the old "green stuff" eliminated the leak while still holding 15# of pressure.
This isn't encouraging to hear, since I converted my '64 convertible to Dex-Cool six months ago. However, I have had no leaks from my new Dewitt's radiator.
I thought I'd try to get some feedback from this forum before I convert my '68 Corvette and my 2 Chevy-II's. Any opinions or experiences?
