Son Dodged A Bullet
His truck was using coolant and missing - he really thought it was head gaskets. I told him it didn't have to be that, it also might be intake manifold gaskets. I said that because he never could see any coolant leak so we both thought it was an internal leak - I never did get a chance to look at it. The first thing I would have done is pull the stick to look for coolant in the oil.
The good news: it had a hidden hose leak plus it needed plugs and coils.
The bad news: $1200. But hey, still better than head gaskets or possible engine replacement.
Oh yeah, he has a 1998 F-250 with 5.4L V8. That's the most major thing that has gone wrong with it.
