Serious Question

This might sound like a stupid question but i have to ask....Is there any reason my coolant reservoir for my supercharger is getting lower every like 3 days or so? Seems like the supercharger is just eating it way to fast.....checked for leaks and found nothing..

Sounds like the intercooler is leaking. What year is the truck?

The 1999-2000 had leaking intercooler problems. there was a recall by Ford, now over, I heard.

Sounds like you may have a leaky intercooler and your coolant is going into the intake and out the exhaust. What year model is your truck? This problem was common in the 99/00 models. There was a silent recall on this but no longer. Therefore, you will have to bare the costs yourself which can be pretty expensive. You need to get this problem fixed though and not keep driving it the way it is. Good luck!

The I/C is leaking inside of the lower intake and either getting suxed in to the intake runners are evaporating. You need to replace it, it is a very common thing for the early years. Get a 10 row.
