Please search, there are at least 2 or 3 threads that are identical to this. (Probably dozens)
Also, grab yourself a manual. It is the most reliable source of information, and the fastest way to get it. You can get it from here, I hope you aren't using dial-up:

And yes, 125 PSI is low.

Same here. I have to add water every time I drive my truck. I'm pretty sure it's the head gasket. I also see white smoke coming out the tail pipe sometimes.
That's a bummer you only got 2 years out of the motor before having problems, big 87. Maybe try re-torquing the head bolts?
I'm building a motor right now, out of a 2nd block I picked up. My plan is to use a mls head gasket and ARP head studs. I'm also having the block decked and buying a new head. I hope to avoid head gasket problems. There are constantly threads on here about blown head gaskets.
