I had a few of the coolant lines need replacing( the one to the oil cooler) but there was no mistake in it leaking. it covered everything
-
No I dont have that problem.
-
Can you smell antifreeze? could it be a tiny leak between the rad and intercooler
-
Nope no smell. Going to cat shop on Monday. checked to see if precooler was leaking but couldnt see nothing there either.
-
Head Gasket ? ? ? ? Hope not.
-
if you were to remove the rad cap off a cold rad and start the engine, the coolant would bubble like crazy if the head gasket was damaged, wouldn't it?
-
Assume your not seeing anything on the ground?
I believe most shops would probably drop the pan and pressurize the cooling system to see if it's pushing coolant past the head gasket.....#6 cylinder runs the hottest and is normally where things start 1st. How many miles? -
not necessarily, usually the best way I know of to ck for a head gasket leaking is, with the engine hot, at operating temp, take the overflow tube and stick it in a coke bottle about half full of water and see how many bubbles you have in the coke bottle, if you have alot or big bubbles within a few seconds then you got head gasket problems.

Well I took the truck to the CAT house on Friday. Hopefully I will get the news on Monday or Tuesday. I will keep you updated with what they found. Thanks for all responses. Ive test and looked at all I know so, I guess the experts got in there hands. Hopefully not an arm and leg to fix it.
