That to me doesn't sound like a GM part # at all. I don't know offhand the GM part# for Dex-Cool. I've generally bought the Texaco stuff because they made it for GM.

they claim it's not dexcool but I don't know if I believe them

I don't know about the P/N that they gave you. I just ran it at GMpartsdirect and nothing comes back. I didn't expect anything. Maybe it's an ACDelco P/N????

God this stinks. You pay some one to do something simple and you can't even get a straight answer about the parts used on a job you paid for!

See if they will tell you if they got the coolant from a local parts store. Then you go to that store & run the number & see what comes back.

I wonder if there is a simple chemical test that could be done on a DIY basis to see if the coolant is silicated?

JMHO, if it was my car, and I went thru this with a local dealer....lets just say I ate it! I had them reflush it & fill it with water so I could take my toy & go home.
