Mack4194 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hey guys. So I lent my truck to my friend to move and it overheated on him. When it got hot he didn't turn it off right away instead drove for a couple of min. trying to get to water. I wish he'd of handled it a bit differently but there's no use in that now. So here's what it's doing. Still has the pin hole leak, (I know I should've upgraded the cooling system) but iIt starts up just fine. It sounds ok at start up. However after a few seconds it will make a noise that sounds like a real bad exhaust leak and then it dies. I have only started it up once and I haven't experimented with the throttle to see if I can keep it going because I don't want to make anything worse. But my friend said it was dying at stop signs on the way to my house. Any thoughts would be appreciated. You guys have been a wonderful resource in the past.

Geonovast Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Do a compression test to see if you may have a blown head gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
