I have had my truck for a week toay, I have put 375 miles on and I am hopeing that I just blew a head gasket and it's not something worse. Truck would'nt turn over, after a change of starters it still would'nt turn over I rolled the motor over by hand a few times hit the ignition and it turned over a couple of times then antifreese came out of the head and I could hear water filling the cylender. so I will be pulling the heads this week and see what the story is. Thats just my luck.

If it were me I would pull the engine and check things out, better safe than sorry.

If you are mechanically inclined and can handle the job I would pull the motor out and r open it up up go over it and reassemble. Do it right one time...

sorry dude we all have days like that..

Just besure to find the cause if you dont find out WHY then it will happen again and you'll really feel the hate.....in the mean time keep your eye on CL for a replacement....around here you can find running motors pretty cheap
