    180 wouldnt be bad with the correct fan settings.

    cracks at 180, fully open by 195. Fans on low at 197 and on high at 205.

    Otherwise go for a stock temp.

    Ethylene glycol and dex don't get along.

    Flush it well if thats whats in there.

    Dex isn't bad as long as its maintained.

    I just pull off the lower rad hose. My drain cock has been stripped.

    GM obviously says Dex-Cool to use, but is there something else that could be used instead that lasts just as long?
