My toyota truck is going through coolant really fast and runs a little rough at idle. I am pretty sure that it is a blow head gasket and would be pricey to fix so I think she may be going to the junkyard. I have not seen any puddleing under the truck. Does this sound like a blown head gasket to you?

I just went through this...does it smoke a lot...if so, put something at the exhaust for a few seconds...if it's wet, yep, it's a blown head gasket...also, take out a sparkplug 1 at a time and turn the engine over...if there's water coming out of the plug hole, it's definatly a blown head gasket...this happened on my Chevy, took the head off and found a crack:eek: ...had to replace the head:angry:

Well I have determined that it is a blown head gasket. The truck has been retired and I have bought a new F250. Check my post in the truck section. Thanks for your help guys.
