I keep losing coolant but there is nothing leaking on the ground or squirting from anywhere. I have changed the water pump, thermostat, radiator cap, belts and hoses. I have had to add a gallon of coolant about every 3 days. When I add the coolant the temperature gauge stays at one notch above C. After 2-3 hours of driving the needle is near the red H and I can add about 1/3 gallon of coolant. And then it runs normal for another 2-3 hours. What is it? Where is the coolant going?

Checking that all plugs look the same can help rule that out. There can also be leaks that only happen when warmed up and leave little evidence, T Willybill User Mar 13, 2007, 5:25 PM Post #3 of 3 (2865 views) Re: TOYOTA TRUCK OVERHEATING Sign In A bad head gasket would let the coolant into the oil or the combustion chamber. In the oil it will make a gray mess. As much coolant that you are adding I would look at the tail pipe and see if the coolant is coming out there. It may smell sweet and like coolant and also put out a white cloud as it vaporizes.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
