Just checking in to see if anyone has any shop recommendations for a head gasket diagnosis/replacement in the Philadelphia area? Bucks, Montgomery, and Berks all welcome too. Sadly, my truck started blowing some white smoke and very slowing losing coolant in the reservoir and I'd love it to just be the intake manifold gasket but I'm obviously preparing for the worst and more likely situation and I'll be doing to head gasket as well as the timing belt and water pump. Truck at 176,000, 2001 V6 3.4 and going strong so I think I'd be better off repairing than replacing the engine but I'm certainly open to thoughts and opinions! Thanks.
