Antifreeze/Coolant evaporating/burning off?
I put the recommended amount of anti-freeze into the truck, and about 2-4k miles later, it's just all the old brown junk left.
I notice no leakage, and the top hose is brand new, although stiff and jerry rigged. But I had this problem prior to the new hose installation. I've tried the 100% mix and 50/50, while the 100% seems to last a bit longer, it is still being drunk by the gremlin. Any ideas? |
Are you saying the level drops in 2-4k miles?
If so one of the following: - it's getting burned in the combustion chamber because of a intake or head gasket leak. - It's leaking down the outside of the engine and evaporating before hitting the ground. Could be intake, head, water pump, or hose leak. - Could be a bad rad cap causing it to just evaporate. Rich |
^X2 rich hit the nail on the head.

Yeah...Id have the headgasket checked...Mechanics can do that in like 5 minutes and if they are nice, wont charge anything.
