Duramax Head Gasket Swap...eventually
It's taken us a while (my fault) to get this head gasket replacement done on our '04 LLY Duramax diesel... but we're nearing the home stretch... long as nothing else goes wrong.

    Forgot to mention in my former comment/'Book" below: the 1989 4WD RamCharger I'd had, possessed a wild, but usable, Easter-Egg feature. Im not entirely sure it was a factory install? But it certainly didnt look like an after purchase, addition or home-job. Upon the inside, more towards the passenger side of the motor hood, there was a small hand held 60-80 watt flashlight/work on a retractable coil arrangement, with an extendable power wire, that could be run/pulled out all the way to the very middle of the REAR tail/lift gate?!... -Very cool, but STRANGE!...Handy if ya had a roadside issue @ night & no flashlight present.....;)

    STILL regretting selling my 1993 RM 4WD LE. @ 235K it still ran & looked new. Thing looked like an official Govt/L.E/Sheriffs truck being all White with dark tint. The thing spooked many a person upon rolling up on 'em, one of my friends who didnt know what I'd driven, upon entering his workplace parking area, freaked out, tossed his burning chong-spec doobie n' >>RAN>> off!...-Just HILARIOUS, as the long haired, dreadlocked hippie exits the vehicle....;) Dealership Mechanic during trade in asked me if the drive-train, tranny & 318 was newly/recently installed? The look of sheer astonishment on his face when I'd told him the truth of original mileage was hilarious. He walked away shaking his head n' quite puzzled as the motor metrics & tests metered as near new according to standard specs. I did take good care of it though. WA state truck, used by a utility company executive before I'd purchased it. Hell, It appeared near new in 2001.... Only thing I'd dropped cash on where the usual's: wheels/tires/stereo/few chrome parts for motor/roof rack/spare 5G gas cans & mounts. Only mechanical issues were the usual: "Deeerunk Driver" steering box, poor "Broken/Leaning Bird Wing" entry door bushings & the replacement of in-tank fuel pump @ one time. Other than that, rock SOLID as to reliability.... LOVED the PLUSH driver/passenger seats?! My God, the MOST comfy seats Ive EVER planted myself in w/o a doubt! Easily sleepable when fully reclined... And that amazing OverDrive lock out?! That feature had gotten me outtve well more than a few speeding tickets, when pushed & dropping gear it would instantly drop my speed by 5-7 MPH?!..Enough to throw ya forward in the driver/front passenger seat a tad if not expecting it... Not too mention: Having the >> Fastest>> PWR windows known to man! (Almost dangerous really, aside from loss of control/looming deep water landings...Ha!..My driver side pwr window, w/o a one push-full down feature, fully dropped in about 1 in a 1/2 seconds?!..Pass side only slightly slower.... Bought that '93 RC for 8$K in 1997ish w/98K on ODO sold for $8.5K with 235K on ODO on Sept 12th, 2001, bought '97 Ford Expedition 4wd E.B, which served much better for my business than the RC. Oddly, that truck served incredibly well w/o too much ha$$le. Still posses it. Bought a 2007 Dodge 4wd 1/2 ton PU in 2013 for 14$K that was a NIGHTMARE, motor died, within a year I had to put a brand new 12$K Hemi into it & other assorted repair co$ts, whatta P.OS!... -Guess I expected more from Dodge considering I'd owned a 1989 Ramcharger that was great, then bought the '93 that was also wonderful. Gave the 1989 RC 4wd to my father upon buying the '93 RC... Now own 2017 Ford Expy 4wd XLT & ive dealt with more issues/knit-picky broken BS at around 55K miles than one person should need too. Ive done most of said repairs myself though thankfully. Newer vehicles are absolute >>PURE CRAP<< IMO.... My next vehicle will be an early/mid 1990's model thats been partly or fully restored. Maybe another Dodge. Newer vehicles just arent worth the high LostCosts of admission! ~ENJOY that great ride my dude! Fortunate guy you are....;)
