Coolant
Hey Guys,
New Excursion 6.0L diesel owner here. I have been reading a lot on this forum and I am not sure if that is good or not.....I now think every problem there is I am going to get it.
. Just a worrier here. Truck has 85,900 miles on it. It's a 2004 Limited.
So I looked at my coolant reservoir on top. It is over filled way above the max line and I have noticed that there has been a little burping of coolant there. I did not fill it to that and not sure who did that. I think I know what you guys are going to say but wanted to ask. Should I be worried about this? I did have the dieselsite coolant filter installed in December and will replace my filter on it very soon. So I am thinking I will lose some fluid when I change out that filter. I did not get the ball valves for it.
I also installed the Edge Evolution and have been using it only as a gauge to monitor temps and my ECT is not ever been above 184 degrees.
So should I be worried? As a side note...I sent a sample of my oil to Blackstone to have it analyzed and I am sure I will be asking you guys what you think when I get that back.
Thanks for all you have done for me so far.
