My truck is a '03. I bought it April of '09 with 53,xxx miles on the clock. It had been sitting on the dealer's lot for over a year when I bought it. I don't have good records of the maintenance that was done on it before I got it. I've now got 61,xxx on it. I was thinking I should flush out the cooling system and fill with new stuff. I visited my local truck service center and talked to one of the mechanics. He said I could flush it out and just use whatever coolant I want in it. I hate dexcool since GM has had millions of problems with it. Figured I'd go with Prestone green stuff. But then I looked on the Caterpillar web site and they show two different kinds of coolant there. Anybody have any ideas whats the best?
