[Summit]

what's with the gurgling noise? anyone else? especially after 10+ mi stop & start. most noticable in2nd, 3rd 4th gears. tech said it's a coolant noise . blown head gasket?? how else is air getting in??? it's noticably loud outside of truck.

What year model?I had a 98 that did this. I took the rubber ring/seal out of the nipple that goes into the head on the heater hose. I heard they came out with new design. My 2000 does not do it. Son has 99 that finally started doing it and last time he changed the coolant he removed rubber ring/seal and it quit. They have a TSB out on this if thats the sound your hearing.

i dont know where my sig went?? mines an 01 w/ 75kmi. that TSB sounds like the right senario but its odd that its for 98-99 trucks.
