:confused: about a month ago my 94 started getting over heating problems then i drove it 10 miles home w overtemp light on with empty car trailer on it,there is no antifreeze in it now but there isnt any coolant in the oil either ,there also was not any leaks that i can find presure testing my cooling system using my mac tools pressure tester. where did my antifreeze go?
bought 85 scab 4x4 6.9 c6 for the engine if i cant figure it out. wife wants me to sell both of them since i just bought 04 f150 super crew fx4 but i really want to keep a diesel in my fleet. thanks for any help

figure where the water went. chances are the heads are going to be no good. The block is usually tough enough to survive a overheat like that. Get a hold of either Clearwater or Alabama cyl head and put on a new pair and run the truck. They are worth alot more running rather than dead.

If you can keep water in it, count yourself lucky. Keep an eye on it, and if it is getting low we will help you figure out where it is going. Keep an eye on your exhaust.
