I call B.S.
Well if your truck is not leaking the antifreeze it is going out your exhaust and being turned to steam which is why it is not pouring or dripping out your tail pipe.
I can not believe you are even considering driving a vehicle to the store that has severely overheated and used 2 gallons of coolant.
You two need to purchase a blown head gasket detection kit at your local parts store and read the instructions on how to use it then use it.
fishwitch you also need to check your egr cooler to see if it failed.
Before asking how to do all of this do a search on here and all of your questions will be answered.
You two do realize that these are internal combustion engines and that if there is not an external coolant leak then the only two places for the coolant to go are your oil pan and out your exhaust right? Its not like there is a coolant fairy that comes by at night and siphons out your coolant.
No I was not born knowing everything about automobiles and engines and I still hardly know anything but I sure as heck knew how to read and wasn't afraid to pick up a book or two and look things up when I had an issue.

btw diesels are very resilient. Just don’t let it overheat and they’ll run for a million miles. Also you still didn’t mention what his problem most likely is. The reason I know is because I have the same problem. 2 gallons in 6 weeks can only be found by looking under the egr cooler. It is leaking. The well that it leaks into can hold over a gallon without dripping to the ground. The egr cooler needs to be replaced, and while your at it, you need to replace the oil cooler too. That’s your proble, now go fix it. Or pay someone to fix it, or fill your reserve tank every morning till it gets worse. Lots of choices.
