One time puking...

So, if my 6.0 "puked" coolant once from the reservoir cap should I do anything about it??? Or just watch for future puking and mystery coolant loss?

just replace the coolant and look for other symptoms, rough idle, smoke, hissing from the resevoir, leak. post back with results

Are you on warranty?

I am still under warranty... I think it was a one time thing on the stock tune when I was really working it pulling close to 20K trailer load a hilly 100 miles last summer. I usually keep the loads under 14k.... No abnormal sounds/smells/coolant loss since then and that includes some hard runs with Matt's ASE tune. I have my EGR turned off but no block off plate yet.

Thats like saying your kinda pregnant....Mine puked just once and it was just a little bit.....followed by mystery coolant loss months later. Ther end result was one warped head and replaced head gaskets both sides.

Go in and get the coolant system pressure test done when it is convenient and it would likely cost you a lot less than a big inconvenient tow bill or a huge engine repair bill. If the pressure test is good, then don't look back.

Just my 0.02......Good luck
