Antifreeze Coolant Xchange

how often, miles/age, do you change your radiator coolant?
do you have them back flush your radiator also?
mine appears still to be clean but who knows what lurks inside that
radiator...truck is still in great shape and has 59k mile on it, no hard travel or use...would just kinda like input from ya'll....
  • I know for the Duramax's its every 50K miles. I doubt mine has ever been changed, bought used, so thats up on my list of things to do. Make sure you are using the correct coolant as well.
  • Your dealer will test your antifreeze to see if it's still effective. It's probably worth it on diesels but on gassers I'd just change it out once a year or so.
