Changed head gasket, head is good, changed water pump, changed nearly rad hose and added a check valve. Still putting in up to 2 gallons of red coolant a day. No def, exhaust isn't clear. Oil pan isnt getting anything unusual.
My oil temp fluctuates 210-240 degreesthroughout the day loaded or not. Water temp is a consistent 190-210, loaded or not. External temperature gauge reads 20 degrees higher than actual, but I don't think that had to do with the antifreeze.
Thoughts?

put a gallon bottle on the surge tank breather and make sure you are not pissing it down the street under a heavy load although this might leave you with even more questions than you have now.
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Agreed either EGR cooler or combustion/pressure in surge tank. Not hard to identify either just sucks figuring out what is causing it
-
Did you ever find out why? My 2012 cascadia is doing the same thing. The mechanic shop said they did a pressure test and they found no leaks. I had a bad egr and they changed that out but its still loosing coolant.

i changed the lower egr cooler out to the tune of 14 hun and four months later i'm losing coolant somairs..
not a drop on the ground...not sure if the egr cooler is the culprit or not.. -
