Huge Problem

[BLKF250]

ok so latley my truck sometimes when it starts it smokes (white/gray) and it doesnt go away until i drive a few miles and man does it pour smoke and coolant sometimes comes out of the exhaust but nothing is in the oil. the other day my truck engine temp went up to the red zone of the H and started to sound like a semi added about 1 to 2 gallons of coolant its not leaking anywhere so something has to be wrong coolants got to go somewhere.

Signs and symtons
- white/gray smoke sometimes at start ups doesnt go away until a few miles
- coolant low
- coolant leaking out of the exhaust about 6" puddle on some start ups

Results
- sounds like to me head gaskets and studs are needed along with the EGR delete

what do you guys think?

can i just put a freeze plug in the cooler and will that take care of everything that i listed above?

[Dave]

No not if the cooler is broken already

[BLKF250]

so I would have to replace the cooler first then put a plug in there and that will be ok? would it be best if i dont drive the truck with the cooler broken? How can i tell if its broken?

[Dave]

If its doing what you say its doing its broken.

[BLKF250]

lol its broken then believe meso i gotta get a new one and if i put a plug it will that block it off (egr)
