    Oil in the coolant

    The mechanic said I have an air cooled trans cooler no coolant runs through it. I have the dual oil/trans cooler how can coolant get in there?

    Oil in the coolant

    No he said visually he sees nothing wrong with heads or head gaskets and don’t see how oil and coolant can mix in the heads. He said it has to be a crack in the cooling jacket somewhere that’s it says he don’t see it.

    Oil in the coolant

    Im stuck he said he has no way to confirm 100% it’s a crack and if I want the heads tested I would have to pick them up and pay and find someone to test them. Or he can put it back together for the 3k labor he charges for head gaskets and I leave. Or I can buy a new motor for him to put in

    I replace the upper hose from valve to fan shroud. I can’t get inside to replace the hose with the quick connect. It’s a highway job to pull that radiator stack especially in your driveway with no garage lol.

    Cooling issues

    Did you read my last reply? The fan clutch disengages with 120psi from my compressor nothing less. The Tm says the Cadillac valve operates from 30-90 psi I’m assuming my clutch is stuck that’s why it won’t disengage without 30psi over what the Tm states? Am I correct? Sent from my iPhone using...

    I’m sure it has been engaged since I got the truck 2.5 years ago. I bet that’s why I only get 7mpg also and other people talk about getting 10-12 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
