    Got 2005 Freightliner with S60 14l, Had a complete over haul back in 2015 by Detroit Dealer, and only put 230k miles, now I am afraid it needs head gasket due to losing coolant overflow tube, thought compressor was the cause and isolated and still surge tank has bubbles, any idea, or a shop near 300m radios around effingham, is that won’t cause arm and leg,

    An old skool remedy is peppercorns in the cooling system, definitely short term fix. If you're talking about Mass, I feel for you, man.

    When I had my last truck inframed it was done by Watrin Truck Repair in Terre Haute. I feel they treated me right and at a fair price. And I would go there again if I still lived over that way. Good folks.
