    My truck is loosing alot of coolant out my exhaust and its leaking at the clamp where it turns up to stack and it uses between 1-5 gallons of coolant a day but no overheating and occasionally it blows a Lot of coolant out the overflow in pulses while I'm sitting and also air compressor went real weak at the same time.do you think the air compressor is causing all of this or did it just happen I blow a head gasket and air compressor at same time?

    Dropped liner resulting in head gasket breach. Or possibly a cracked head.
    Ddec5 did have bunch bad head castings that were prone to crack..

    Either way head has to come off. Check deck height and head before reassembling. Depending on mileage could get away with doing the one dropped liner and new gasket and reman head..

    Being deleted does not always mean the cooler was removed and blocked. Easiest way to delete 14 is to fool the barometric pressure sensor. You will still have coolant and exhaustgas
