well i looks like i have finaly been bitten by the curse of the 2.4, the rad split on me, i have had that and he water pump and cam belt done but the system just pressurizes from the word go and if i fire her up then switch off when i take the rad cap off i have cold water pumping out the rad cap so i think the head has finaly bitten the dust so it looks like i need a new one

Update
well the head prob just gets better and better (not) my m8 has had a look at the truck and has found that the head is wasted and i also have a head bolt missing that has been sheared off and part of it left in the head so how my truck ran for the past 6 months i am not sure but at least it is proof of how strong the surfs are will let you all know the final damage and see if i can get out and play in the mud once i have the truck back and running
