I found this checking the fluids while filling up. As If the $120 fuel bill wasn't bad enough. Looks like I finally popped a head gasket. What are the chances my head(s) toasted its self?

Just thought I'd chime in... Has some blow out of cap... Then days later a drip from radiator. Changed radiator and cap. 1000 miles later completely split new radiator open. Put in another new radiator. Miles later blew out cap and code read low coolant pressure.

New thermostats and problem fixed. Hyper extended thermostats was my problem. One was stuck open and when I took it off housing just fell apart in my hand. Crack in copper piston...

I replaced my thermostats when I did a coolant flush right before problems arise. It was defiantly over filled

Maybe this was my problem. I have always kept it dead between the lines. Puked it the other day and it dropped to an 1" below the cold fill line. Guess I will leave it there and see what happens....
