Anyone have a how to thread for the head gaskets I'm debating if I want to attempt it but not sure I've been quoted 4500 bucks to do the head gaskets and just dont have that kind of money to put into it.
All the others have been 3500-4500 as well. Expensive I'm really thinking about doing it myself but a how to for it or most of it would be good. I hate to part with it cause I really like the truck just sucks not having it
I think I'm going to try and attempt it I'm gonna try and figure out by Monday on what to do. Heard that it's best to buy the thickest gasket that's offered I know the head bolts have to be replaced I'm not planning on upping the power any so ill prob just use regular oem head bolts instead of the studs.
Go for it man. Take your time, take pictures and label things for where they go. Whatever it takes, you can do it. :thumb:

Henry, you must be tired you left a letter out of the alphabet
Was a little late for me since I'm now on day shift at the plant. And the iPhone changed what I had and I did not notice lol. Thanks for pointing it out I looked over it.
I've been looking at the truck more I think its got a bad injector cup along with an injector cause its got a injector tick. Really wondering if its not the headgaskets and just a bad injector cup and injector. Hmm
Don't take this the wrong way, but that sounds like real wishful thinking. I certainly would like to hope for your sake it's just an injector cup, but it sounds like it's a head gasket.
