antifreeze in muffler

[XLT_91]

I just replaced the cracked heads on my X. I can get it start but it wont stay running due to vacuum lines. I am still getting a small amount of antifreeze burning off through the exhaust. Could I still have a good amount of antifreeze in the 3 cylinders that the heads were leaking into causing the problem? Also upon a close look at the muffler I had a drip of antifreeze coming from it?

Are you sure it was antifreeze and not just condensation? Condensation dripping from the muffler is normal.

If you havn't had it running long you may still have fluid in your exhaust that needs to be burnt out. Get it going for awhile and run it down the road and recheck. Don't get in a hurry, let it sit running for awhile and look and listen.

Thanks for the help. I was burning the remaining antifreeze in the exhaust system. I let it run for awhile, changed the oil due to sitting for 5 months in the driveway. The X doesn't burn antifreeze at all now. Glad to have the X back. Just need a catback now lol.
