What is your question?
My 2001 chevy 2500 Silverado low coolant light keeps coming on . I put a pressurized gauge on it which didn't show any leaks I've changed the reservoir an cap but the coolant still evaporates after I let the truck run and shut it of I hear a hissing of air but I see no leaking water an the hissing is somewhere near the back top of the motor by the way this is a 6.6 diesel any info on this would be gratefully appreciated
What makes this problem better or worse?
N/a

Hello, Just to clarify -- the coolant will not "evaporate". It's going somewhere. Now, there could be an air pocket in the system from making repairs -- this could account for the coolant level going down after operating the engine. Pressure testing the cooling system will reveal any external leaks. If there are internal engine leaks, they will not show up externally of course. This is possible. Testing is really needed further to find out. Top off your coolant, monitor the level now that the reservoir and cap was changed, and perhaps it will even out from an air pocket.
