Florida coolant temp
I'd never trust dex cool, I'm a driver for advance auto parts and I spend alot of time at shops delivering parts and everything, I was at a friends shop and they where working on a 99 blazer that had dex cool in it after 100,000 miles and it ATE THE HEADS. I heard dex cool causes electrolysis thats why I turn people off from dex cool and give them the green coolant instead. I havent had a problem with over heating since I bought the car and yes it did orginally have dex cool in it then I had a friend flush it and put green in and so far everythings fine even in 90 degree weather with the ac on. So yeah you might wanna flush it and see what happens. Check the t stat etc etc.
the dexcool didn't eat the heads,
electrolysis is caused by stray current and if the heads were dissolved then that's one stray ******* current. No antifreeze will prevent against that,
don't incorrectly conclude dexcool simply ate the heads
