Both times that this happened, I was running at pretty high rpms(about 3500). This time, I had just taken off at a light and was going up a grade. I had went through 2nd gear, then 3rd and was just ready to shift when she blew. The truck was not hot by any means. the gauge said about 200 but I think it is a little off because it was not even steaming.
I am not using any sealer on the block heater because it has an o-ring. It seems to just slip out of the block far enough for the o-ring to pop out and allow the antifreeze to leak.
