Hell, CPS has had my truck 5-weeks now. Three of those weeks was spent diagnosing and the past two weeks searching for a new head for my non-egr DDEC-4 Series 60. Supposedly it shipped yesterday Friday May 21st and should arrive to CPS Mon-Wed of next week. Sadly for me, it was CPS who caused the damage to my limited production engine when another of their shops rebuilt my engine 5-yrs ago, installing the head gasket upside down. After 4-months, they rebuilt it a second time with a damaged cylinder head but didn't tell me and I've been driving it like that for 5-years now. That shop closed its doors in 2019. This past February I had the current shop replace the 19-year old fuel injectors. Immediately after installing the six-pack, the engine had starting problems which it's never had, and blowing white clouds out the exhaust stack for the first 3 seconds after starting but would clear up. Six weeks ago while at a customer location making a delivery, I came out and discovered anti-freeze all over the ground coming from coolant tank overflow. I put it in CPS shop and they've had it ever since. They say the fire deck is pitted and grooved out from the firing rings. They informed me that because of the length of time, they won't make right the damage initiated by their other shop and once they get it back on the road, I'll have to cough up $8k-$10k for the full repair. Just can't win in this hobby. Thank goodness mine didn't hydro-lock or else I'd be out of business. I've spent over $20k having that engine rebuilt top to bottom just to almost lose it because of a stupid mistake they made. These are certified Detroit Diesel facilities and they still screwed up.

Cracked liner will evacuate the cooling system pretty dang quick.

[@motor2of7]

I was thinking that too. It would have to be a big gap in the head gasket to leak that much fluid.

[@wazza33racer]

diagnosis.........bubbles,pressure in the cooling system (air system is normal) its a no brainer blown head gasket or cracked head. Sometimes it will only be when the engine is hot because a crack in the head needs heat to expand and manifest itself. When it wont crank on a good battery its water in the cylinder. dont need 6 hours to figure that out. best thing is rip the head/s off and get them crack tested......look for any other causes. If there is a ridge in the top of cylinder liner its water present during combustion causing a huge pressure spike shoving the piston sideways and potentially failing the head gasket etc. Reminds of the Kenworth dealer at dubbo NSW Australia............had a Kenworth come in with a low power issue. They hooked up the scan tool, test drove, mucked around for 2 days...........all it was in the end was a split hose between the turbo and intercooler. Freakin dumbasses. That truck is a credit to its owner for 900,000 miles ))

Yes it would build pressure. When my compressor was over pressuring the coolant system I could take the cap off the reservior and mash the go pedal and it'll make coolant go all over.

It took days with welding, torch, oil, impact, blood, and sweat to get them all out of the block. They used some paired head bolts between the heads. The top of the engine deck was so heavily corroded I needed to use high temp silicone to fill in all the pitting from rust or the head gasket wouldn't have kept the coolant in it.
