low coolent message 05 lly

[Fastorange]

well guys im about to throw in the towl.. its been about 2 weeks sins ive installed new head gaskets on my lly.... however, its been doing crazy things like the upper hose collapes itself... heads were takin to the machine shop and a valve job was done and they were resurfaced... however the low coolent level light keeps poping on... ive been watching the coolent level and it hasnt moved at all... ive looked at the wires and everything seems fine... maybe its time for a new coolent take????? any advice would be great

Try getting a new degas cap, if your hosed is sucked in, the cap is not pressurizing correctly I believe. It happened to my old truck. Seems some what common.

X5. I've replaced my cap twice now and was getting low coolan message

the thing that i dont understand is if the tank has coolent.. then whats causing the message? i also replaced the cap

If you did all the above mentioned it could be the sensor itself thats causing the low coolant mess.

You can use a resistor to bridge the connector if the sensor is bad. You'll just have to watch your coolant levels. If you check your oil every fill up it's no big deal to look over and check coolant too.
