Coolant system pressure up causing the recovery tank to spill over? Heater blow hot, cold, then hot again w/ a fluctuating temp gauge? They'll be signs of a cracked head or leaking head gasket. Might not be the problem, but just ideas.

x2 on the head issue. Fill in your sig so we have an idea about your truck, how ya got her set up.

By burning coolant you mean into the cylinder??
Like posted, are you pressurizing the degas bottle? Boiling over? Any milky fluid in the degas bottle? |
Easy way to tell if its a cooler again, which wouldn't suprise me. Remove the EGR valve, apply pressure to the degas bottle, jack up the back of the truck and look in the intake where you removed the EGR valve. Usually there will be coolant present in the intake if the cooler is busted. If your lucky it will be the cooler, but its around time for those head gaskets to be replaced.
