    Me to lol, I did a bunch of testing and what not found exhaust emissions in the cooling system, It would pressureize the coolant reservoir all the time, properly bleed the system 3 or 4 times and everytime after awhile it would pour out the reservoir. Thermostats ok, waterpump is ok.

    so I took my truck in to get the engine replaced and they called me up with some bad news pic of some of the progress

    [​IMG]

    Now for the bad news the used engine I picked up has a crack in one of the oil return passages

    [​IMG]

    Got in contact with the company that supplied the engine and there giving me a full refund and there gonna try and find me a new motor, the family friends that are doing the work for me pulled the heads and confirmed that they are warped causing my over heating
