I just got a 2005 f-350 4x4 6.0 the guy I bought it from told me that if it hits 26-28 lbs of boost antifreeze will come out the overflow cap. Is there a fix for this? Is it supposed to do that? When I got home it was 1 1/2 gallons of antifreeze low. It was running 215-220 degrees.
I took my truck in the shop they said it was a blown head gasket. When he gets in to the motor he will check the heads to see if they are cracked and if the turbo might be rusted. Should I let them put the stock head gaskets back on or should I buy some aftermarket ones???
I would go with ARP stud kit and good gaskets. They are pricey but good, I'll get the gasket info and get back with you.
arp head studs are helpful. Factory gaskets are the only way to go unless you are going to fire ring it. How does he know it is bad head gaskets and not the EGR cooler? EGR cooler is just much more common is all.
They pressure tested it at the dealer and thats what he told me. If it was the egr cooler it might have antifreeze coming out the tail pipe.
either one would blow coolant out the exhaust and coolant out of the overflow. I guess they are likely right, just saying the two can be similar.
