How's the coolant level doing?

 

[jrmudder92]

Just an update. It's using more coolant now. Now I have to fill the overflow ever 100 miles where I could go 200 miles before

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Pressure test time. Not at the dealership this time please.

 

[jrmudder92]

Okay I will. Can anyone in the Durham area do this! Or know anyone who can! Johnny maybe?!

Ok, now is when we need to do the blackstone oil analysis. You have the kit, correct?

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Yes, I can help with that. Not this week though, maybe this weekend.

Leaking radiator?
Checked behind shroud and/or along tank crimps? bottom edge right after a drive or while running and up to operating temp?

check for leaks while driving and under load. Normally this is hard but something tells me you have multiple go pros and other video equipment.

put some of them under the vehicle and go to a long drive. Check the video and see if you can see it leaking.

I had a leak somewhere in my system on my Pickup and could not find it, drove me nuts for a while. Turned out to be a pin hole leak that only came out under pressure and was hitting the AC condenser and running down.

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I'm hoping that we can put this head gasket business to rest after the Blackstone oil test so we can find the real leak

Hey I have a spare blackstone kit if you want it. I always keep an extra one handy. It's yours if you want it.

 

[jrmudder92]

Just an update. I got my Blackstone kit will do it this week. Also ive never noticed this but I was putting up Christmas lights on my truck and while doing so i kept smelling coolant like is was "burning" maybe... idk... that maybe normal.

That's what a coolant leak smells like. The cooling system should be sealed, so you should never ever smell coolant unless something is wrong.

Finally took down the Halloween lights?

 

[jrmudder92]

OKAY so an update back stone came back they said theirs 5% antifreeze in the oil.... SO what do i do.... also ring ware maybe I think that's what he said
