Message: [QUOTE="silverpsd_06, post: 476491, member: 1011"] Bought the truck last week and slowly noticed that it has been losing coolant at the rate of about three eighths of an inch out of the degas bottle very two to three days driving approximately 150 miles. We have pressurized the cooling system and we know for sure that it is leaking we just can't find where. Updated cap, upper coolant hose, and the port on the degas bottle is plugged so it is not the updated version but should be ok from my reading. I don't know for a fact yet whether it is making oil or not doing an oil change tomorrow and considering a uoi from black stone. Now the history on the truck it was an oilfield truck from Oklahoma owned by great plains oilfield services. When the mechanic got the truck there was no coolant in it and the motor was completely covered in coolant replaced the upper hose and cleand the engine bay. It seems like I only smell the coolant when the truck is up to operating temperature maybe after about six miles of driving approximately. Now the truck also does some strange things and developed a miss when you first start it and it goes to try and hi idle. This only happens first thing in the morning after that it does not do it. Also only does it at idle touch the throttle and it stops.. Don't know much about these trucks any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks in advance guys [/QUOTE]
