8 UR HMI Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 first off what are ur mods, 2nd what is the temperature, humidity level etc..., 3rd do u shoot white smoke out, how many miles are on the truck and can u smell a sweet smell from the exhaust? if ur shooting PURE white smoke, u might have a blown head gasket and that is causing coolant to make it through the block and into the heads burning it up. have u drained the fluid lately? if so it takes a little bit for the motor to fill up with coolant therefore u could just be a little low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Could be a small coolant leak from one of the hoses, radiator, or water pump weak hole or gaskets. Have the system pressure tested at a radiator shop to determine if there is in fact a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyg Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'm gonna say head gasket, cuz if it were a puddle leaving leak (sorry for the technical term ), well there wld be a puddle if you're adding every few days. g/l with the diagnosis and getting her fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) It's probably something minor, don't speculate on what the problem is. Get it pressure tested and we will diagnose from there..... Edited November 22, 2010 by Fireman31 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
