it was very clean when I picked it up this morning, but after 3 hours on the highway at 80mph, it was all black in color in the overflow tank and there was so much more sediment in the bottom of overflow bottle that I couldn't close the cap without crunching the little rubber straw.


Wow... your throwing alot of symptoms off that my blue LWB was giving me when I had a head gasket breach. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I had my head gasket breach between the cylinder and water jacket. It started with gurgling and black coolant. It ended with my radiator dumping all coolant into the reservoir and slight overheating. Lets hope that isn't your case. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
