no idea. I drive like a raging retard so who knows lol. It was spewing out the top for a while but it stopped, went to deep creek hauling **** and it was very low, then a week of work it is darn near empty and i smelled antifreeze pretty good today. And now it just doesnt feel as strong as it did. Before it would just go, now it will roll black smoke until it kicks down.

Stop playing games and take it to a qualified tech and have it checked out! It is almost impossibe to diagnose without seeing it.

Wow, maybe you dont know what this site is for. I believe its to help others and to try and provide them information so that they can diagnose the problem themselves which in turn they can either hopefully fix it themselves or take it to a tech and save them alot of time lookin for the issue, thus inturn saving the truck owner costly repair and service bills. So if you cant be a part of the solution then please dont be a part of the problem. keep your unnecessary comments to yourself, thank you

Cowboy, I have helped many people here, but this post seemed to be a little sarcastic , so I thought I would play a little. It actually sounds like someone played a little too much and blew some head gaskets or egr cooler.

Isn't this the same guy who got called out a few days ago for badmouthing Matt's tunes at another forum without talking to Matt and trying to figure out what was wrong? I'm suprised he's even back here.

Wait what? Where and what user name. I dont post anywhere else under this name. I ran Matts tunes for 30 minutes and then removed them, but i certainly never said anything about them anywhere. I still recommend them to people that ask me about my truck which i do get asked often because they have never heard or seen a 6L run like mine does on a tune. So if anything, ive gave matt business.


If i got called out anywhere i will be sure to be there to defend myself. So, since you have clearly stated i was badmouthing matt, link of the post or pm me the post on what ever forum your talking about.
