It's not Dex-Cool (and don't put that stuff into your Dodge either).
Dodge uses two different coolants in their vehicles. One is a "hybrid"
(orange) and the other is the standard "green stuff". We ran into this
on two identical 2001 R/T's. One had the orange coolant and the other
had the green...we flushed the system of the orange one and refilled it
with the standard green.

I sure hope it's not DexCool... that mess is bad news. I've yet to see
a car w/ DexCool go 100k miles w/o some sort of corrosion problem
(dissolved freeze plugs, etc) and definitely do NOT mix it w/ reg.
