When your upper radiator hose is rock hard after driving? I just squeezed mine after driving around for a little while and it's hard as a rock. Boost never went over 10psi. No water in oil or vice versa. Checked that already.
 
A really blown head gasket should have water bursting through the cap and bubbling in the overflow tank. Or... oil in the coolant. If the truck is warm the top hose should be hard to squeeze.
 
I know it should be hard to squeeze but this was harder than it should be. Oh well. No fluids are mixing so I'm going to keep beating on it till something gives.
 
Are we really talking about Tyler's hard hose?

Maybe your truck finally thinks it's 500hp and it's all excited...

You could get one of those hand exercisers. Maybe your gripe is weak? :poke::hehe:
 
His grip is STRONG... he's been using the shake weight.

Hmm, wonder what the signs of the radiator leaking coolant between the tanks and core, cap leaking, and the heater valve pissing coolant could be.

Sounds like it caught something from the ford it humped from the fueling station :lolly:
