Leaking Headgasket
18 hrs???.......... "your mileage may vary" "professional driver on closed course" It can be done and actually Mel wrote the definitive article. But, $400 won't do it and 18 hrs is optimistic for first timer.(Ask me how I know) Dave- dave85

Three legged dog..........
well, finally the rear left wheel cylinder just gave way completely. don't have the time/place to repair, so I blocked off the brake line to that wheel. Been about 9 months since I had to work on my truck, guess I'm due. Dave- dave85

Oil pan gasket. use or not?
Yeah......... I've got a couple of short business trips coming up. My plan(and I do have one) is to jack it up and clean it off, put the RTV on and let it cure for 3 days. Then bolt it back when I return. Dave- dave85

Oil pan gasket. use or not?
Good info........ for me as my oil leak has gotten to the point where it is embarrasing. Gonna try the "replace it in the truck" plan. dave- dave85
