    I've never had a head gasket blown in a truck, but in a motorcycle a blown head gasket will make the oil look like a coffee milkshake pretty quick.

    Its been repaired!!

    total was:

    New radiator--150.00
    New fan clutch--112.00
    Fresh Coolant--30.00
    New lower radiator hose--16.00

    total--$308.00

    I also went with the larger radiator offered to give me a little more cooling capacity.

    HG is fine and now truck runs between 188-191 running down the road! much better! thanks for all the ideas
