    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    UPDATE: It was the freeze plugs. Thanks! I went and got it checked out. The shop wouldn't work on it but they showed me where it was wrong. Then I got dumb and did something I know as a "tinkerer" I shouldn't do with the cooling system: I added a "Freeze plug sealer" and called it a...

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    Good point. How much is it to have a freeze plug done on these things? And the only reason I ran water, as I mentioned was because I had to flush it so many times becuase of the blown oil cooler. It is my own dumbass fault for not putting antifreeze in when I got up here. I take the heat...

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    Rgr that...only think is, i've isolated it to the passenger side :( I wish it was as simple as a coolant tank. Already replaced a couple of those on our fleet 6.0's. But what I'm thinking of doing is putting a garden hose in teh coolant tank and sending a large quantity of flowing water...

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    its always cheaper to use an outside mechanic, rather than Ford, but then when something like this (what happened to me) happens, you're SOL with warranty work on the work done. FML lol Good luck to you though

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    Ya mine doesn't overheat unless i'm out but it continually drips so I run out at least every other day. And its only really bad leaking when its running. Other than that, its a slow drip (I guess since the water pump isn't working) anyways, any idea how much the labor cost would be to...

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    im almost positive its the line on the oil cooler. the guy that fixed my oil cooler probably forgot to tighten down something and it blew off a line. Who knows. I dont have any tools up here at Camp Lejeune so I'm gonna have to take it to a damn mechanic and its gonna cost me a fortune. FML...

    Do you have to strip off the top end again to get to them?

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    I know not to use water but I had to a couple times because I blew my oil cooler and got it fixed two weeks ago and i've been flushing the cooling system every couple days. If I used coolant the whole time, it'd kill my wallet lol. The way its leaking doesn't seem like a gasket. Its a...

    Leaking coolant...kind of strange...

    I've developed a pretty steady drip of coolant from the passenger side of my engine...seems like it might be <gasp> coming from the head. But there is no white smoke or any other symptoms of a blown head gasket. I did run water in this truck during my move from Florida to Jacksonville, NC and...

    tranny problem AGAIN...after 2 days!

    So I had a transmission range sensor go down (truck shifted HARD into reverse, reverse lights weren't on, truck would not shift into overdrive so I was limited to about 60-65mph at 2500rpms). I went in an replaced the Transmission range sensor and the truck was good for about 2 days. Then...

    Where the heck is the transmission range sensor??

    I got it done today. Not that hard of a job, but frustrated the hell out for me for a little bit because I forgot to put the little valve in the tranny in the nipple of the selector plate. Baffled me why the truck wouldn't go into Park or Reverse lol. It's good now (at least I think...)

    Another Oil Cooler/EGR thread..

    ****, its not fun! From what i've read and been told, you have to pull the upper intake manifold off, and the turbo if you have the bigger manifolds. Doesn't sound like something I have the time or the tools to do anymore. I have a guy down here doing it for $500 (plus parts). He says its...

    Where the heck is the transmission range sensor??

    So I just dropped my tranny pan and went to replace teh range sensor and I can't see anything that looks like the part Ford sold me! When you drop the tranny pan, the range sensor should be right there in plain view, right? The range sensor they sold me doesn't seem right. Its like a 1/4...
