Hey all,
I purchased my 99 GMQ about a few months ago, and I don't think the previous owner ever changed the radiator coolant. It's a little below the cold fill line, and I was thinking about adding a 50/50 mixture in to top it off. Currently, it is a dark brown/red color.
I was told my several mechanics that flushing the radiator and hoses after never doing so, with 160,000 miles on it, would probably cause a lot of problems with debris and other corroded material getting inside the head gasket and block.
What does everyone think?
