Hey guys have not been on for awhile,just got a 96 LT4 came from Texas,has 44,000 miles on it looks like the day it came off the line I got two trophy's already. Torch Red great car compared to my 84 crossfire. I am going through it did the oil,motor trans. rear. I don't have a owners manual so I don't know what antifreeze to use with the aluminum heads . any help?

I believe your car came with Dexcool.. but after seeing them lose the Class Action Suit against Dexcool for causing corrosion problems, a lot of owners switched to the old reliable ethylene /glycol { green stuff} Prestone, etc., they will not harm alum heads ... I did as well..iyou can go with either.. just be sure to flush completely before refilling .. don t mix the two
