Just bought a 24 ft enclosed car hauler to move cross country. Got it all loaded up (around 11k lbs total), and pulled it around some today. Noticed coolant all over the passenger side of the engine. Thought it might have been a hose or water pump, but it has pretty clear rust stains on the front passenger side of the block just under the head. Looks to be weeping coolant out the head gasket. I just towed this trailer back 6 1/2 hrs from Southern GA to Knoxville, TN and lost some coolant, but not enough to really worry about. The truck doesn't run hot and pulls awesome.
It does seem to be losing a lot more with the loaded trailer behind it. Are there any temporary fixes for this? Retorquing head bolts, sealant..etc!? If not, I may have to purchase another truck for the trip. Planned to leave tomorrow..
