Seems like I read here a while back about using only using GREEN antifreeze in the brass/copper radiators vice the long life ORANGE stuff. I thought the post said that the ORANGE stuff eats at/away the solder joints in the brass/copper radiators. Is this true or a wive's tale? If it is true, it may be a good idea to post that info in the FAQ section.
P.S. - I used the ORANGE stuff in my Chevy Suburban Diesel's aluminum radiator for 7 years. I had to replace the radiator due to a cracked plastic end cap. When I removed the end caps to look at the core, the radiator was super clean and I did not see any corrosion at all.
