5.17.14. The Dexcool coolant will degrade the L.I.M. Gaskets, along with
the head gaskets if the coolant is not completely drained from the system.
The engine block has drain plugs for both cylinder banks. The back bank
drain plug is located between cylinders 3 & 5, & is difficult to access.
People go way to long on the coolant service of the system. 2yr/30k miles
is what I go. Also the EGR passage port in the upper intake manifold clogs
up with carbon, causing a poor or stalling idle. I pulled my engines L.I.M.
Off at 82k miles and the L.I.M. Gaskets were just showing slight signs of
degrading, not leaking yet. I decided to pull the heads off to inspect the
head gaskets. I found that the Dexcool was degrading the head gasket where
the opening for the coolant in the block met the opening in the head! It
was not leaking yet, but would have in time! I use Fel-Pro metal framed
L.I.M. Gaskets & SD head gaskets. Another source of oil leaking is the oil
pump drive O-ring located near the flywheel end of the block.
