Just as the title says, im pretty sure the head gaskets are toast in my truck. It all stated last night when I was heading to dinner. I got off the interstate, the truck was running a little weird. Next thing I know the radiator hose blows. So i Drive a couple blocks to get out of traffic. I have my buddy bring me a new upper rad hose and 2 gals of coolant. Turns out 2 gals didnt fill it up. So I drove about 2 miles to an autozone to get some more. When I shut the truck off its smoking bad, oil is pouring out from somewhere in the block. So I fill the fluids and it seems fine : So i drive it home, its prefectly fine. Start it up this morning, fine again. Started it up after work, again it was just fine. Once I got home it was pourin out oil again. It was down at least a gallon, the underside of the truck is completely covered. So I filled it up, drove it out to the shop, and pulled the ole 6.9 outa it. I would like to fix it, but I know the local machine shop is backed up so i wouldnt get the heads back for @ least a month... I pretty much decided tonite that it is time for a cummins
Sad, sad, sad day
Seems like I just had this truck apart less than 4k miles ago :tooth At least the bolts come out super easy
Guess this means I will have a parts 6.9 up for sale... with a 093 ATS on it, a SMF and 12in clutch, new injection pump and G-code injectors w 5k on them... If anyone is interested
