Original owner all regular maintenance done at the dealer. Only issue I ever had with the truck was around a year ago. Coolant tank cracked and truck overheated but was pulled over immediately and crutched it home with water and coolant. This makes me think head gasket but when I checked there was no sign of coolant in the oil checking from the dipstick and oil cap.
yes, drove it all weekend then went out Monday morning and it would crank but not start. I did what I could “very little” checked fluids spark plugs and codes with no luck had it towed to dealer and just heard this.
I am not sure what you mean by this. Did the engine rotate when you tried to start it?
Union electrician, commute a lot for work… hope it isn’t proof that these all really do need a catch can installed. Had a buddy warn me to install or I’d have issues by 150k…
Haha...sure hope not...I'm reaching 130K...so far, the engine is the least of my problems...surprised you didn't say anything about your tranny...
I installed a metal coolant reservoir and it would slowly lose coolant through the blowoff tube. I had that tested no leaks detected they determined it was the pressure cap not working properly and replaced it. I wondered if Maybe it was exhaust causing this? Or maybe just a lack of it being able to expand like the plastic? Still never noticed coolant in the oil or vice versa just that it was slowly coming from the tube. Other then this I’ve never had any problems with the truck besides the infamous bucking which stopped after sensor was replaced.
The trucks been great the only problem was the coolant reservoir dry rotting around 100k and would swell and leak when pressure built up. Just hoping that this will not be a common problem for others… Unfortunately Price wise it looks like it will be getting a new engine which includes a new turbo. Would still love for it to be opened up though to show the true issue. Maybe a catch can install or possibly a trade in if this becomes an issue for others. Just sucks, love the truck.
