    03' dbl cab with some stuff
    Up at shop stripping cab for can swap and cage, went to move the truck and she is spitting excessive water out exhaust :( 1st gen 3.4l since the rollover (slow rollover mainly cab damage) she drove fine the four five times I drove her up and down the street, and the many times I would warm it up in garage, let it run for 20-30 with some good revs.... Now start it up and seems to run fine, sounds fine but when I rev it, it spits water out the exhaust. Not just a lil bit but a good amount. Head gasket, head? Wasn't overheated that I know of. It's been at shop for two weeks and has been move in and out daily.

    Suggestions, thoughts, tips anything helps at this point

    I think my truck hates me now :pout:

    Think you already nailed it, either a Head Gasket or Cracked Head!

    .....update.....it was a just a bunch of condensation from just being started long enough to roll in or out of shop for last few weeks. My blowmaster is turn sides and acted like a chambered bowl!had him drive it around the lot a bit to clear it all out. But we found out that cylinder 2 and 4 are low compression... All were 190, but 2 and 4 were both 150... No bueno!
