    How come they don’t pressurize cooling system, do it in the morning give it couple hours it will show for sure. If it’s a turbo disconnect intercooler pipe or opposite side and it will show if it is turbo

    Ended up being a cracked head. Took them 2 weeks to fix it on top of the two weeks before trying to diagnose it. A month to do a 3 day job. Ugh.

    It also has a cutting out issue that usually happens under light engine load. Does it on the cruise and pedal. Usually have to downshift or let off throttle for about 5 seconds to get it to clear up. I assumed it was related to the coolant loss but it's still doing it. It will just start cutting out and there's no throttle response. Then it clears up and runs fine for a while. Starting to get really frustrated with this truck. It's been deleted and never throws a code or check engine light when this happens. Filters have been changed.

    So it wasn’t cutting out before? Now it is? WTF? They screed something up doing the head. Injector harness pinched or loose? Just guessing,Hope it’s a simple fix.
