*^%#* Head Gasket! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Fired up the Blazer yesterday to go to work and noticed a nice cloud of white steam pouring from the driver side exhaust. It slowly when away as the truck warmed up, but I parked it until I can tear it down. Oil didn't have any water in it and water didn't have any oil, so I think a cracked block/head are not to blame. What a PITA though to pull the heads! It only appears to be leaking on the driver side head (I don't have a cross-over in my dual exhaust), but I will probably replace both head gaskets while I'm in there since I put them in at the same time about 10 year ago.
