[QUOTE="DannyLaughlin, post: 423287, member: 17376"] I just got back from a 250 mile drive. The reservoir is lower , there is no gurgling sounds and heat is blowing evenly throughout the registers. The temp ran between 205 and 220 halfway on gauge. Towards the end of drive when doing 30 to 45mph in town driving the temp reached 245, 3/4 mark on gauge. When pulling up in driveway temp was 250. I parked but didn't turn off engine, the temp dropped to 208 at idle within two minutes and stayed there for the next ten minutes till I turned motor off. The next morning I checked coolant level, installed funnel on radiator and added roughly a quart and half of coolant. While driving I never smelt coolant and have not noticed any leaks. Could I have a blown head gasket or possibly a cracked head and the coolant is getting into the exhaust manifold and that's where to coolant is going? [/QUOTE]
