On the bright side I took back an empty last night. It's was 18 years old, still rolled well.

 

Im so mad right now Head gasket or air compros is bad dumping coolant somewhere We think its burning it.. Going to shop tuesday to get a Pressure test and see whats going on..

 

Havent even looked yet lol

When i get home i will

 

Take the compressor out of the system by plugging off the coolant lines to and from it. And pressurize the tricks coolant system. If it does not lose pressure, it's in the compressor. If it does, it's in the truck. Do a bottle test to see if it's going in a combustion chamber. If that falls is almost certainly a head gasket. If it passes, the next step is to drop the pan and look for coolant getting by a liner seal.

 

Can't do bottle test my engine doesn't have that overfill Tube for coolant.. I Know for sure There is pressure in the coolant tank. Also out of the oil fill tube it has Puffs of White smoke but i think its Moisture from the coolant hitting crank case... Cuz it doesnt even make it outside the oil fill tube but i can see it

 

Great advise! My lazy rear would just take it to the shop.

 

Fyi, a coolant leak can only go 3 places, an external leak the ends up in the ground. An internal leak into the combustion chamber. An internal leak into the crank case. Check the oil after it sits overnight. If a significant amount of coolant is getting into the crank case your dissociation is gonna look like you dipped it into a weak chocolate milk shake.

 

No, that was my buddy David that drives the truck full time. It's just my part time gig when they need a team driver.

This is one thing my wife & I were just talking about yesterday. The fact that I'm going to have to learn to slow down. Right now I run everyday that I'm away from the house whether it's one week or 3 weeks.

 

Screw that. Im perfectly willing to do it when necessary, or when it pays. But I'm not running 1500 miles over the weekend when i can make just as much running 750 miles the same weekend.

 

Pulling this cheap freight it usually takes 7 days of running to gross $4500 + a week. Just can't stand to sit on the weekends if I've only grossed $3000 or so for the week. Of course it's a little better now that my monthly truck payment is what my weekly truck payment used to be.
