head gasket...most likley im on my fith one now .....is coolant bubling in the resivoir?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

i just fire ringed mine last weekend and im having a problem..i think htere is an air pocket in the overflow hose.. it will push air into the bottle but not enough to make it around the loop in the bottom of the bottle to let the air out and when the truck cools down it will suck the air back in the line and level out the coolant

 

I can hear the coolant bubble in the resivour when I turn the truck off.

 

Find a buddy with a pressure tester before you start tearin apart to see if it's holdin pressure.

 

if you can hear it bubbling its getting compression from somewhere....mostlikley its gonna be your headgasket..you running studs?

 

Nope, no studs.

 

its gonna be a gasket i bet.....just save yourself some money go get a set of 625 arps and fire ring it

 

If it is bubbling in the resevoir after the truck is shut off then it sounds like the head gasket but you could be luck and it is just the rad cap.if you take off the over flow line that goes from you rad to you over flow tank and put it in a clear jug of water.Start the truck and let it run.if you see bubbles in the water you have a head gasket that needs to be replaced.

 

would that not be just the same as the line going to the resivoir?...i mean if it bubbles the resiovoir its gonna bubble the water

 

Care to tell me a little about what fire ringing a truck is? Im not very familiar with that term. and about what would that cost

 

I am also in the blown headgasket group I am going to try studs 625s and a wastegate and see what happens if this fails to work i will fire ring the head
