I'm having Issues

number one my 2003 6.0L is constanly pushing antifreeze out the resevoir cap... took it in to ford and they are saying they have no clue what it is, but they are assuring me it's not the head gaskets..

It dosen't have to be head gaskets. It could be any # of things. I am not sure that Ford really knows or really wants to tell.

There is a lot of reading here for this issue. Might try a forum search on "coolant loss", "coolant leak" etc.

Any mods or pure stock? Does coolant occur only under tow / load conditions?

Please provide details and or do the search thing.

Good luck.

You might want to get another opinion. Could have stretched the bolts a bit.

While seaching / reading...do a search on gaskets and or head bolts.
