    Can someone identify the purpose of this exhaust pipe. I have a maxxforce engine. Trying to figure out the steam, its a new development although i have been losing a lot of coolant for the past 3 months, might be related. Any input is appreciated.

    Here is video

    I bet your engine oil is a creamy brown color.

    Im thinking so also. Ive lost a gallon of coolant every 100 miles I drive for the past 3 months. Cant find a leak neither can mechanics. Going to get the oil changed. I need need to cross my fingers and keep it running 2 more weeks.

    Runs smooth when its running thats all i can say positive. The problems with them we have had is too long to post. I love the prostar though, the turning on them is so helpful for the work I do.
