Possible Head Gasket ??
I'm thinking HG, the trucks got a EGR cooler delete, EGR delete, new oil cooler. It builds enough pressure in the cooling sys. to make the cap bleed off. If you watch the degas bottle with the cap off and engine up to temp. You can see what looks like the coolant peculate. Looks like air bubbles coming out of the hose attached to the bottom of the degas bottle. Temps are ok when driving, no water oil mixing. Any thoughts thanks for the help.

remove the headbolts equals remove the heads and replace the gaskets.

Bubbling in the degas bottle.....head gaskets.....which really means head bolts. Get those ARP studs in there, sooner the better.
Just my experience, a lot of reading here on the forum, and a confimation by the Ford stealership.

Do a search for ARP studs and I think you will find the cheapest source. My total DIY parts was $1450. I have a post that spells out all my costs and sources. BTW I really did not need to spend the money on the Black Onyx gaskets, everyone says the factory ones are just as good. Check out Partsguyed.....and SEARCH and READ! Search is your friend.

... I took some pics but something was wrong and they didn't turn out. I'll take some more during install. The machine shop said that every cylinder was leaking. Thanks for the ebay fined.

Getting my Heads from the Machine Shop in the morning. Got most of my parts in, enough to start putting it back together any way. I'm going to try to get some pictures posted soon. This is an after thought but has any body else have this problem. I had to pull the 4 back out side HD bolts with the head, there was no way they were coming out first. I pulled the A/C dog house side cover off to aid in some more room. This was on the pass side. Any thoughts on this. Thanks
