Head gasket ?

[TEXCRAWLER]

I have installed these gages - engine temp, EGT, Trans, Boost. What are the early signs of a blow head gasket? What to look out for? Should I or should I not put a STC chip on my F250 04-6.0

[TEXCRAWLER]

Would a sign of the head gasket be going if there is preasure from the engine blowing coolant out of my resevor?

I'm not a mechanic, but from my reading and experiences it could be the egr cooler-oil cooler or the head gaskets. Hopefully somebody that knows more will answer you soon. There are a lot of threads on both issues. Good luck.

yeah that can be a sign, but that can also be egr related. look in the coolant just whith the engine running and watch for air bubbles

[TEXCRAWLER]

If I see air bubbles what dose that mean? The truck gos to the shop Wed.

That means air from the engine is blowing back into the coolant. Head is blowing or has blown. Also keep an eye-out for white smoke. That is caused by coolant leaking into the cylenders. There again head troubles. You may want to double check my info. I am not a tech but I try to learn as much as possible about my truck.

[TEXCRAWLER]

I'm still waiting on Ford. My truck is still there.

[TEXCRAWLER]

Head gaskets are blown. Ford is replacing the heads and gaskets. Mabey I'll get it back sometime this centry.

I was told that you should get ARP studs. Mine is in the shop right now getting them installed. I had to go to another dealer to . After my experiences, I wouldn't run any programs without them.
