What proof do you have that this truck was damaged by DexCool?
This appears to be a heater core leak, a failure not even mentioned in
the law suit.

Even though it _was_ faulty gaskets.
Your lack of comprehension doesn't make it different.

1) Your 89 S-10 didn't come equipped with the style of gaskets in
question.
2) Plenty of vehicles named in the suit that were switched over to "the
GOOD OLD GREEN STUFF" developed leaks also.
3) Leaving the same coolant in for 19 years makes you some kind of
stupid.
4) Wanna take a guess how many heater cores leaked in 80s S-10s and
Blazers that came with "the GOOD OLD GREEN STUFF?"
