In a multi-million dollar study, GM quietly discovered that Dexcool was incompatible with the Nylon 6/6 that they were using in many parts of the engine and cooling system - gaskets, radiators, heater cores, etc. Rather than risk the tax credits they get from the Gov't for long-life coolant, they are quietly changing the plastics rather than the Dexcool. This is how I understand it.

Get involved with the class action lawsuit.

I've made another post about my other problems on 1997 cadillac deville. mostly rants. But, i'd like to add i'm searching for a solution to the cooling problem. Mostly likely going with a remanufactured engine. Still, looking for all the information for a possible performance rebuild, or upgrade. found a possible coolant. Don't take it to the bank until i can confirm its compatible with nylon 6/6. and safe to use with northstar cooling system. Its called evans npg, its a waterless solution. It promises to have it all like all products. (i open them worms yet)

I'll be back with more information..

Thank you for your time
