Have many of you switched out the Dex-cool and put back the regular green anti-freeze? So far mine looks good, but at a local shop the owner gave me a trade magazine that shows the problems GM has been having. I would like to swap it out myself, but it is a large volume of coolant to deal with...
At work, a salesman from a lube company stops by and they are an Allison Dealer. He delivers the filters and so far 10 gallons of Transynd for me and gives me a good price.
I've had a variety of RV's, A Class "A", Class "C", 2 travel trailers, and finally the 5th wheel. Class A and C were nice but I didn't like the idea of having to maintain another engine and drivetrain when I only used them 6 months out of the year. The TT was nice but harder to get into spots...

I changed mine out at 55K, but they still had another 15K at least on them. I have 85K on my 02 Suburban, bought new front pads but they still don't need them.
