When I was at Advanced Auto Parts I picked up some antifreeze
for my Malibu and started reading the info on the back.
It states that it is made for all vehicles that have
ALUMINUM radiators. It was $9.88 a gallon, straight product not
already mixed 50/50.
A 50/50 Prestone/Water mix = -34F/-37C and +265F/+129C
A 70/30 Prestone/Water mix = -84F/-64C and +276F/+136C
Would this be good for our KLR's

dex-cool
Avoid the Dexcool for the KLR. I just flushed my cooling system last
week on a '96 Blazer that came with Dexcool (78k miles). The expansion
tank was full of rust colored sludge, there are also some class action
lawsuits against GM regarding Dexcool.
It's not a bad product, but the system cannot be exposed to air (i.e.,
cracked expansion tank, cap, etc.), or it will start turning to sludge.
I bought my Blazer used, and the previous owner had lost the cap to the
expansion tank. The sludge was bad enough that the overflow hose clogged
and forced the radiator cap to release fluid.
Stick with the green stuff.

Hi Joe,
I spoke to Tim today, and he's willing to part with the complete front wheel
from his '96, and just about anything anybody else may want. Please respond
to this message, and I'll put you in touch with him via backline e-mail; I
really don't want to be involved in the price negotiations. Sorry, I
shredded your original message, and don't have your address saved.
Cheers,
Scott
