so i have a 2000 dts and i got the heads done a little over a year ago. about a week ago the water pump went so i got it replaced. a few days later it was running a bit over normal temp so i checked it was low on antifreeze so i topped it off. i checked back again this morning and it was low again so i put more in. now its getting a lot hotter and the bottom hose coming from the water pump is staying pretty cold. should i be worried about the head gasket.

When the head gaskets where done did they Timesert the block?

yea they used the inserts...today the car completety overheated and i changed the tstat so im guessing its the head since everything feels like last time unless u know something else i should be looking at or doing

That is odd that it would fail if they used the proper inserts (Not Helicoils). Check the purge line for flow.

 

[hatinyet]

yea they used inserts..where is the purge located

 

[Ranger]

It's on the side of the surge tank near the top. Do a search. It's been discussed many, many times.

yea the purge is flowing
