You can use regular green coolant in your truck, just make sure the Dex Cool in entirely flushed from the system before you add any green stuff, because the two do not mix. Most people usually flush the system twice before replacing Dex Cool with green.

I ran a resistor in my IAT a few times on my Camaro out in AZ. Basically what it does is trick your PCM into thinking it's a perfect air temp coming into the intake whether it is or not so that timing isn't retarded at all. I tested it on my Camaro at the track...two runs without the resistor instal...

This was several years ago...maybe 14 or 15...but my dad filled our Tahoe with 86 in Texas on our way out to AZ not noticing the octane rating and the truck ran like crap. It may have just been bad gas at that station...don't know. But if you mileage is better, then maybe it's OK.

Most of the issues I see at my dealership with rusty rotors is rust pitting. In order to machine the rust all the way out you would make the rotors too thin, thereby causing warping upon first use.

I've seen rotors warped by improper torqueing of the wheels also. But it can also be caused by heat.
