Try a bottle of stop leak and see if that helps it, i hate using that **** because it can cause problems later down the road if you dont flush the system at some point.


Have you checked your oil to make sure theres no coolant in it ?

oil was the first thing i checked, and its perfect since i did and oil change on it 400 miles ago....not a slight sign of any contamination.

coolant resivoir isnt really low either, but theres still a leak....and i dont really trust stop leaks...if theres a leak, it needs to be fixed....i love my off-roading and cant take any chances

well im in talks with my old boss again and he has the same truck...and he said the headgaskets were easy, and didnt require special tools, and even if i needed tools hes got everything...over 100K in tools hes got. and he would help me if i needed it...im not worried about doing the headgaskets, its the funds right now, cuz if i do headgaskets, im putting in new iron heads.
