Loosing Coolant At The Reservoir
#11
it's been like this for almost a year. It did it for the first time on the way to work when a V6 mustang tried to pass me and i put her to the floor, when i got to work i noticed the coolant in the wheelwell i opened the hood and found that it was coming out of the resivoir. I had my Banks plugged in then so much for safe i guess.

also -- I've read a LOT of people just have faulty coolant caps and when the system gets pressured up (like under load) it starts spewing thru the cap...
try the simplest first -- replace the cap... if it fixes it - GREAT! if not.. then you start moving on to the more serious things...

I replaced my cap and the tea kettle sound went away for a little bit, but it showed back up. Combustion gasses were making it into the cooling system.
Since the OP stated he has used a Predator, I would venture to say that he has stretched headbolts. Predator programmers have too much timing on the top end and have been the leader in headbolt stretching. If there is no coolant on the ground where I described earlier, that would pretty much rule out a cracked EGR cooler.

Ummm that's where mine was blowing out when I needed head studs.
Some of them were over filled from the dealer and would do it once or twice, but if it is recurring then usually the culprit is the headbolts/gaskets.
But what do i know? I mean I've only been there, done that and have the ARP atuds to prove it.
