Lets just hope the new heads take care of my problems for a while. Seems like there's a new problem with my truck every week.- forumpete58

As for them tryin' to screw me, I really doubt it with this shop. They've done about everything possible to work with me throughout this ordeal. But I suppose anything's possible.- forumpete58

He said he took them off and had them checked out while he was reaplacing the gaskets. I think he told me there was severe warping. The only good news is that I shopped around and found a set for a little over $300- forumpete58

I got a call from the diesel shop this morning; they tell me I need two new heads. I sure would like to know what the hell the previous owner did to my truck.- forumpete58

Yeah thanks again guys, biggest downside of the whole ordeal was that I had to borrow a buddies cummins to tow the ol' stroke to the shop and he took a picture of it and posted it on cumminsforum.- forumpete58

Well I got it to a good diesel shop, they did a compression test on 'er and say that they think it's a blown head gasket. They're going to go ahead and replace both gaskets for $1500+tax.- forumpete58

Just the fact that you guys generally think a new motor isn't needed I can breath a sigh of relief.- forumpete58

I wish I would have had time to get it to the diesel shop in the first place and never dealt with the dealership. Thanks guys!- forumpete58

I just called the shop back and the only answer he would give me is, "there is excessive blow-by causing pressure in the cooling system". This mean anything to anyone? Thanks!- forumpete58

Well my stroke started overheating a couple days ago with no visable leaks. I finally caught the leak in the act ad saw it spraying out of the cap. The parts department ended up reccomending me buy a new cap, the motor still overheated but didn't spray out of the cap. Anyway long story short the...- forumpete58

Wheels and Tires?
Just to put my .02 in here. I run 315-75/16's on my stock rim and front leveled. There is some rubbing at lock but not a big deal. Also I bought my maxxix mudders off ebay for $700 shipped and think I got a great deal! good luck!- forumpete58
