I may be in trouble.......

tym · Dec 18, 2015

After fighting my heat forever, I am 99 percent sure I know what the issue is. Think I need to replace the intake manifold gasket.

A mechanic checked it out, I am getting exaust fumes mixed in with the anti freeze. Makes sense why my motor is running cold. Question is, what is this gonna cost me. Ugh.......

It could also be the head gaskets. Might want to check into it more before just replacing the intake gasket just invade. Because then you'll have to do the intake twice of it turns out to be the head gasket. Lol

Is it having any white smoke out the exhaust?

Is it losing water?

Could also be cracked head. DO a compression test.

No white smoke, not loosing any anti freeze at all, I am really wondering if its just something simple like a vacumm leak. Truck runs like champ

Vac leak will not make that test a positive. Cracked heads these motors are known for it.

I may be in trouble.......
