- Blown Head Gasket? Cracked Cylinder Head? Cracked Engine Block? I think the engine hydrolocked and wouldn't start before

Great video, once again I learned something valuable
Lovey work my friend. Those liquid combustion testers are the best and everyone should use them on a used car that they may wish to buy. Nice work Sir and sorry for the owners of this truck. Bobby
They are probably BANNED at the auction lot !
@@billsmith2212 You are most likely correct! Made me laugh out loud...
@@bobeaseshop9389 I agree with you.
So was it gasket or cracked block???
I watched the other video on the block test as well as one from WatchWesWork. I think both instances were where there wasn't combustion so no combustion produced gasses in the coolant. Failed injector + head gasket leak = no reaction.
Thank you
Always replace those caps. I've seen too many 4.7L's blow hose after hose and radiator after radiator due to caps that don't release pressure at the 16 psi the cap specifies. I've seen the radiator hoses on these blown up like balloons due to bad caps.
Who dumped a jar of Cneez-Wiz in that radiator?
Learned the hard way about the 4.7 v8 in the 2003 Dodge Ram 1500. Mine blew at 82k miles. Stay far away from the 4.7 v8
Someones been a cookin Mac & Cheese in yer radiator...
Good stuff.
Great, Now i want Mac and Cheese for Dinner!
Excellent video-what’s the cost of a combustion tester?
Harbor Freight. The kit is like $28, plus you need a bottle of fluid around $10
@@JeffinTD $40.00 well spent.
Scotty says stay away from 4.7 .
I got dodge ram 2500 magnum hemi 5.7
337.000 miles on it and still running so smooth and quiet. Little bit knockin but stills running with proper maintenance.
Be careful with that knocking. I have a 2006 5.7L V8 with a blown head gasket among other things, and right before it broke down it started knocking more and more. Once that knock gets louder, take it in to the shop. Mine died at 165,000 miles.
Hello Kenny the 4.7 was junk from the get go!! Mercedes engine. Used Chrysler as test car's for their junk. We hated working on them at Dealership.
You are a smart man. Where in NC are you located
I remember him saying he was just north of SC somewhere!
Wonder how much water is in the pan?
5:09 Changed almost right away too. Can that fluid be re-used? Doesn't it change back color?
I’ve heard you can pump air through it, but $10 gets you a bottle of 16 tests worth…. So I can’t see it worth the time.
Looked at first maybe a mix of Dexkool and the old green antifreeze? I heard that can cause a pudding type result. Asking more then making a diagnosis. Can you mix the two?
I think the pickup would have come with HOAT type coolant (apparently Zerex G-05 dyed orange for Chrysler). As I understand it shouldn’t be mixed with traditional glycol coolant, but I don’t know what happens.
I have a 2013 ram 4.7 in the shop right now it has 94k it ran hot but very weirdly. We changed water pump, thermostat, heat temp sensor and it’s still running hot but only if you drive it. It will idol. Fine. Only two things left are radiator or blown head. Any advice
So is it blown gasket? Or cracked block????
What was the actual problem
Never found out. Customer had the vehicle towed home to sell as is. I'm pretty confident it was a blown head gasket or cracked head. Thanks for watching!
@@WrenchingWithKenny will the rust in radiator like that normal for blowen headed gasket?
Dodge go fubar big time
Cream of chicken soup?? 🤦♂️
Makes we want to eat nachos now!
