Ever since I got my truck back from the head gasket job, I have had a very loud hissing sound. Took it back the 2 days later, the pyro probe was loose at the exhaust manifold, so they tightened it. I went to pick it up and immediately, I noticed the hissing was still there.

I beeped the ser. manager and asked if he was sure that was all, Yep it was only finger tight. So I continued to drive it more (cause I'm really glad to have my truck back) but the whole time the hissing is making me sick.

I know this truck has a bad exhaust leak, but they said everything is tight.

Well, turns out the tech bent the Y-pipe was bent when he put it back in from the engine job, and it was not seating right at the turbo.-mad

So now all the stuff on the top side has to come off to change it. They also have to order it, so that will be another day or two.



Maybe one day it will all be right.

Keep on them Bama, until they have your truck 100% the way you want it.
It sounds like they want to make it right, but must have some retarded help.
They should have test run your truck, and should have picked up on the leak.
Good luck.

No they would never do that. Now a days it is hard to find a good mechanic. Bama hope that your truck gets 100% soon.

Oh yea, forgot to mention our A/C at the house is down too.

I think the fan motor is goin bad. It sounds so terrible, to keep from waking the neighbors up at night, i have to turn it off.

It maybe fall in AL, but man its still humid and muggy at night.
