I'm using Big Stuff 3. Love it to death!
I've heard good things about the BS3. People say it could even be better than the XFI, just doen't have the same level of support.
No details on the setup eh? Sneaky bastard.
C'mon, spill the beans Hemi boy.

Hmmmm it say's right on the jug "designed for todays aluminum raidiators and aluminum engines" if this stuff is so bad then why are they still making it, and why have Geno and I not had any problems for the 5 years we have been using it. I think the problem is mixing it with green AF and using tap water.Dominus said:

GM used it in aluminum engines with aluminum radiators and got sued for hundreds of millions of dollars, and none of those cars ever saw any green coolant. GM is alone in this situation.
Right now GM is in the process of possibly switching to G-05 coolant, because Dexcool still gives them problems. When they started putting it into the Honda engines used in the Saturn Vue Redline, they started having problems with an engine that has given Honda no problems. Go figure.

Other than headgaskets they are as reliable than the mod. If the cars they were in were RWD I would have no reason to own a Mark VIII.

lol, sounds like someone needs one of those ignition interlock devices that you have to breathe into - for his keyboard.

Sorry, but even the LT1 makes our modulars look sad. I like my Mark VIII for the total package, but I don't even pretend that the DOHC 4.6 has anything on an LS engine.
The supercharged Cobra engine being the only exception.

I know a guy who has an LS2 GTO (400+ HP) and he gets 400 miles to the tank, just regular driving. That's just ridiculous. Until I went on a trip with him out of town one time, I didn't even believe him.
Not that our engines are bad engines or anything, but the LS series is fabulous.

northstars are crap. they develop oil leaks that cost $1500.00 to 2000.00 to fix. my 4.6 DOHC has 141000 miles and is still dry as a bone every where you look. take your GM praises elsewhere, you'll convince me NOT.Dr. Paul said:

Did I ever mention the Northstar? Nope.
I am speaking of the LS-series of motors. Besides, I don't care if I convince anybody. The proof is in the pudding. The LSx makes more power, more torque, more fuel mileage, weighs less, has more cubes, is more compact, and is cheaper. What else is there?
Anyway, this isn't supposed to be a GM vs Ford thread.

then shut up... I don't give a crap about LS's. my 4.6 puts them to shame. I love beating the crap out of Firechickens, Crapmaro's and Horvettes.Dr. Paul said:

The Cadillac guys just aren't very active, they're replacing their headgaskets.

The fact that Ford did not make an engine for which it can be compared to definitely speaks volumes. The Cobra and GT500 engines are some hot stuff, but only fi you get a Cobra or GT500.

Half case seals are really just a nuisence leak, not a big deal unless you really like a clean driveway. I myself wouldn't care if my ETC developed a half case seal leak, but like the vast majority of Northstars it has no leaks. Actually I have a small oil leak in my Mark (haven't checked where it might be coming from.)
LSx > modular, period. I'd have one except I don't want a generic sports car, and don't want a Vette (can't afford one either.)
The Cadillac people are on cadillacowners. Which makes sense when you compare it to this site. I don't see any Lincoln (or even 300) haters over there, they seem to be a more easygoing group than people here. But since we're here, the Caddy boys are probably just busy showing taillights to some Lincolns at the strip.

Who wants a front wheel drive car? not me! I thought we were talking about overheating issues anyway. Oh yeah I almost forgot... Do you guys know what chevrolet stands for?

If you want to get started with those stupid little inaccurate acronyms I can assure you there are more available for Fords...
And yes, FWD sucks. Well it's good for rain/snow, but we all know it's shortcomings. Like I've said before, if the last gen. Eldo was RWD I wouldn't have any reason to own a Mark VIII.

I have to say , I've had a lot more problems with my Mark than I've had with any other car I've owned (had a 90 Eldorado and a 91 Audi 100). Don't get me wrong, I love my Mark, but it's a much bigger pain in the ass than the others I've had. Ford vs. Chevy etc. is all about preference. They all suck at times, and they are all awesome at times.
