Losing Coolant??

**Strokin6Liters** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-29-2009, 08:00 PM

When i push my truck real hard i smell coolant coming through the AC vents and when i let off the gas i hear a whistle-like sound(its not turbo whine). Have I blown a head gasket or is this egr cooler related??

Gaskets... Are you puking coolant?

Pushing coolant out of the reservoir...

How long do i have to get this fixed before something bad goes wrong and about how much is it gonna cost

You already have something bad going on. lol You need to get it fixed ASAP.

I would suggest getting ARP head studs and getting the heads decked and magnafluxed.

I'm probably not going to be able to afford head studs. Do you know how much its gonna cost to fix the head gaskets?
