Well deadlyman,
probly can't help much but sounds like what has been said here as head gasket. Try search using head gasket or coolant leak maybe.
Have you tried smelling exhaust for coolant smell? Look for combustion flakes in coolant & if positive, no other way it can get there.
And if tank runs over pressure it will trigger overflow & generally smell under truck & possibly thru a/c vents. If they didn't know how to bleed the cooling system may need to get to someone who knows what their doing, call other service mgrs. :rolleyes:
