1991 F150 coolant problem..
Have the 300 I6. Seems to have an internal coolant loss problem. If I put coolant/water in the resevoir, it disappears after driving. I have also noticed after turning the truck off I can hear what sounds like water running/gurgling. Checked the oil and it doesn't seem to be going there. What could be the cause of this. The system does need flushed and I going to try to do that tomorrow.
Any suggestion/ideas??
Thanks,
Vince

if you can't find it leaking externaly
like from the water pump,hoses,radiator, etc.
then it may be going thru the exhaust
if it is , then the exhaust, would be white if burning antifreeze
don't think water shows up in any color tho.
but it sounds like its using alot , if its gurgling,water running
but not sure how far you have driven, and the conditions in which you are using the truck .

I just drive it normally. To and from work and around town. I don't really haul anything or pull anything. I just hope its not the head gasket. Hopefully I can flush the cooling system and change the oil tomorrow and get a better idea of what is happening.
