hello guys, ive read all the posts here about blown head gaskets. my truck started showing the "low coolant" message. I added coolant, and it came back within a week.
Also the truck wont get up to temp unless i am on the highway.
So i went to the dealership this morning, thinking the worst, head gaskets. They told me it was a hose underneath the turbo that had to be replaced, and the gaskets were fine.
They did a compression test, and it checked out. No other leaks anywhere they said.
So i pick it up this afternoon, everything looks fine, start driving it home, drive 5-7 miles temp guage still says 160. Stays at 160, until i get on my street i open it up, and bam she jumps to 210, and then back down to 180ish. Then the :low coolant" message pops back up. So im back at square one, and 400 dollars in the hole.
Any suggestions? They say for sure its not the head gaskets. Im guessing next step is thermostats?
