    I hope so! I'm going to ask a few people/mechanics and pick the best one. I'm also going to ask the dealer for shits and giggles. That way it's documented if they ever issue a recall for the 05 head gaskets. Unlikely, but who knows!

    I don't think "steal" and "fair and square" go hand in hand.

    Here's my fun video from today. You can't see it in the video, but it's about a 20" tall rock shelf I was trying to get up. My front bumper and driveshaft barely cleared.

    I don't know yet. I want to put it on the middle window, but I don't have anything that #randyfab made.

    I would also put it on my cooler, but i haven't used the cooler in a while

    No, but I don't think that's it. The gurgling behind the dash is indicative of exhaust gases getting pushed through the HG into the coolant. There shouldn't be any air in there at all.

    I'm going to rent/buy a cheap borescope and look at cylinders 5 and 6. Apparently if the other cylinders have deposits and 5/6 are squeaky clean, that's another sign. It's the coolant getting in there and steam cleaning the cylinder so to speak.

    *all this is shit I read on here, so take it with a grain of salt.

    Woah woah woah, the rule was on the truck, even if stealth mode :D And #randyfab has worked on your truck, which totally counts.

    Experience has taught me that when you think its a head gasket, it is. If only #randyfab stickers were more available head bolts wouldn't get loosened in the middle of the night.
