Dale Lakin Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have read a couple of threads on various boards that the 6.4 is puking through the degas bottle. Well we have our first one in for it. Anyone else run into this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have not heard of them blowing out of the resevoir, but I have been reading about some poor chap that is having problems with one that keeps blowing the tanks off of the radiator. I imagine with the kind of boost that this engine makes, cylinder head to block sealing issues will have some effects similar, but worse than 6.0s.

Jim Warman Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I'll have to do some checking... I recall something about some front cover problems that would backpressure the cooling system. Sorry, I can't remember the specifics.... Anything you can tell us about the truck, Dale? Tuner? How the truck is used? Anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torqued_Up Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Just the very thought of this makes me want to puke. I hope this turns out to be a rare failure and something other than head gaskets. We really need this sucker to hold together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I can't remember the specifics.... Anything you can tell us about the truck, Dale? Tuner? How the truck is used? Anything? F450 pickup with no modifications at all. Truck had 2300 or so miles on it but most of that was from Georgia to Oklahoma. Intially looked as though the EGR cooler connection was loose but not the case the whole underside of the hood was moist and a gallon low on coolant.

GregH Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 The front cover issue, IIRC, was flashing that was blocking part of a water passage. The one I am thinking about had a lack of heat from the A/C at idle.. I'm sure there have been others that manifested differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselD Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I have seen the flashing int he front cover cause problems as well. our car service department had one. I just got one in with the side take on the radiator leaking too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Lakin Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Ended up being the radiator side tanks...Replaced assy and sent customer on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
