Message: [QUOTE="junglejoe, post: 1529852, member: 18893"] I don't how to reply to all with out makingnseveral replies. . Yes,same shop is doing the repairs.. Warranty work but still!! Little history on my truck.. I bought it from the original owner with 90k miles on it. BONE STOCK. I put a livewire in it because it was like dragging a dead horse. I knew the history on these motors way before I bought the truck 5 years ago. Then did the 5 inch exhaust.. Oil cooler and EGR cooler ruptured in it one day. I fixed that in the driveway one weekend . At that I time I added the BPD remote mount oil cooler. If any of you know about oil coolers,its a 15 minute replacement now. I have replaced the oil cooler 5 times now!! I now hhave the coolant filtration system on board..I'll see how that worked out. But anyway.. I put the new cooler on..out on a test run and held it on the floor just a little to long and there went the stock headgaskets.. At this time is where I did all the extra stuff to the truck..well,the shop did. That head gasket lasted about 1 year and 12k miles.. Truck is back on the road again.. BAMM.. Another year later..another headgaskets.. This time I went to the shop when it was tore apart.. I piece of the headgaskets had literally blow apart in next to the water ports.. Sooo. . new gaskets again.. About the same time frame and miles..AGAIN.. Headgaskets pop.. Now I inpw this is excessive. . so I buy brand new O-ringed heads at this time. Its suppose to be the end to headgaskets on these trucks.. Well... The truck never left the shop when he called and said it done. I went to get it and its missing, shaking and just fugged up! I said man, come on now..REALLY!!? To put it nicely! So.. Engine came back apart AGAIN.. The brand new heads dropped a valve!!! Or should say stuck open..call it what you want! Ok.. Got that fixed.. LITERALLY ALMOST THE EXACT SAME TIME AND MILEAGE. ...I have the issue described... Truck has about 157k miles on it right now [/QUOTE]
