We did the bottle test. There’s bubble coming out. Could it be the head gasket?

Or cracked head. Is it alot of bubbles ? Isolate the air comp and see if still bubbles.

We’re gonna repeat the test

Could be. They won't cause any codes to pop up. Unless you keep running it then you will see all kinda codes ! LOL. check the easy stuff first. Isolate the air comp and see if bubbles stop. Turn off or plug heater hoses to see if bubbles stop. When you start it up after sitting over night does it smoke white smoke till warm ?

it doesn’t have white smoke in the morning.

if it’s blowing bubbles you need to isolate the air compressor coolant and any air operated heater taps. Once they’re isolated if you still have bubbles then it’s down to
-cracked head

-bottom sleeve seal
-cracked linerExpeditor Thanks this. -
If you need a in frame, hoping you don't, make sure you cut all 6 liner protrusion. If cat was to do in frame that is the only way they will warranty work.
