[quote="heavyhaulerss"]i had a neighbor who had same problem.


that is a completely different failure; he was leaking compression to the cooling system, this engine was leaking coolant externally

he was losing water thru overflow hose on water tank. it was head gasket. the truck had 800,000 & he could not afford rebuild. he had head resurfaced & new gasket. that cost total 1,900. that was 3 years & 270 thou miles ago. so for him it was worth not doing the rebuild. truck still runs 2-3 thou mi a week..[/quote

Yes, this was not leaking coolant anywhere else but to the outside of the engine. Thankfully. :roll:
