coyotetrucking Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I'm losing 1.5 - 2 gals of coolant/day. Coolant is spitting out overflow/ reserve cap. Truck isn't overheating. Does this mean head gasket or cracked head? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/13951-losing-coolant-out-of-reserveoverflow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambi80 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm losing 1.5 - 2 gals of coolant/day. Coolant is spitting out overflow/ reserve cap. Truck isn't overheating. Does this mean head gasket or cracked head?When I had that problem the head gasket on the air compressor was bad, sending compressed air into the coolant system causing all sorts of coolant push problems...ended up with air bubbles in the coolant system, sometimes getting 'stuck' wherever the temp is read causing the gauge to spike and to shut the motor down. Before you tear the lids off the motor, try bypassing the coolant lines to the compressor. Quote Ever wonder how a blind person knows when to stop wiping?
