Hi `Tadd, I would not believe everything the `Deuce says or your Maintenance Manual What ?

I think GM may have printed that so that owners would have to bring their vehicles in for repair when they break down because of a faulty cooling system & charge you thousands of $'s 2 repair What, GM would lie

I think `if I had your Deuce I would have your anti freeze checked & if it does not meet the standard, to change it..

I've seen to many newer cars have cooling problems, but that's in Florida, but I think with all your changing weather it would be a good investment...That' just my opinion, but I hope you look in2 it & make `up your own mind...It's your time & $'s 4-Sure...I'm learning that it does pay to be safe, then sorry when it comes to a Super S.S. like yours...

That's `all My head is empty again lol

 

Chi, it's still pink like pink lemonaide. But you guys got me thinking yesterday. I broke out the Deuce's manual and see Iam 20K over due for a tranie flush and new tranie filter. Will ge that done when i get back from the Nats.

 

Are you checking the overflow or the radiator? I would get it flushed still

And yes on the trans stuff too

 

Planing on it Chi... trannie first (as it is the most over due) then the next payday the Rad. flush.

 

I can't seem to find my manual saved on my computer and I want to do this soon so my question is how many gallons of antifreeze should I get. Straight antifreeze no premix stuff.

 

I would be afraid of damaging my hose if I used a hooker...

P.S. I took a chance, while at work, and clicked that link.

 

 

I change my coolant every 25-30K, as well as my tranny fluid. I usually do them at the same time...

It might be a bit overboard, but i've seen Dex-Cool turn to jello before...and these trannies are not the best in the world, so if coolant and tranny fluid pro-longs the life of my Monte, then I am more than willing to change it. So far, 163K on a 4T65-E...that's pretty damn good, and counting.

 

Like Michael, I usually do both coolant and tranny service at about 30K. I flush the radiator, but simply drain the tranny fluid and replace the filter.
