Is the ISX head gasket good for a truck?
The dealer where I bought it has replaced the coolant overflow bottle, and the complete turbo, and they have supposedly checked the egr cooler, and air compressor, and the head gasket, but they say they are all good. The truck does fine one day with no coolant loss, and then the next it will push coolant out twice in one day.

Why does my ISX engine keep eating coolant?
2009-2010 ISX’s are known for bad EGR coolers. But they quietly eat your coolant by letting it go out the exhaust and gradually gets worse over two month’s time. It doesn’t push it out the overflow. I think it’s the gasket design. When total EGR cooler failure happens your cylinders will fill with coolant and the engine will hydrolock.
