Hey guys
Truck overheated on me and i may have cracked my head or the head-gasket went south on me . No coolant in the oil but she's blowing steam out the tail pipe. No white smoke on start up only after truck warms up a Little. What does it cost to have a head replaced or Head-gasket job done.
Any other suggestion's to cut cost man i hate being a broke college student.


Thanks Guys

 

I got a buddy near springfield that may be able to help you out... He does HG on the 4cyls all the time. dunno bout the 6's... yours a 4 or 6?

edit: im sure we can figure out a way to help ya man.

 

I just bit the bullet and sent her to my mechanic. If i had more skills I could have saved myself a lot of money. Anyways truck should be up and running next week cant wait.

Thanks for the reply

 

hopefully it works out well.... was it a 6 or a 4?

 

It's the 22re
Maybe I can start joining some of the trail runs you guys make. Hey whats the best way to extend the t-case shifter?

 

why would you need to extend the t-case shifter.

 

I have a 2inch Body Lift on the truck. Its real hard to get in four wheel drive and if I can get in it pops right back out. If I take the boot off it works fine but its still rubbing a little on the sides.

 

for the life of me I can't remember exactly what one looks like, so bear with me:

1. can you remove it, rotate it 90 or 180 degrees, and reinstall it, and if so would that fix the problem?
2. would a transmission shift lever work in the place of the t-case shift lever, and could that fix the problem? If so I've got plenty of spare tranny shift levers....
3. could you cut it in half, weld a piece of pipe in it and weld it back together making it longer?

 

Option #3 is what you're looking for. You may also need to change the angle a bit to get body clearance. Or notch out the floor pan a little to give it the needed clearance. With a 3" body lift my body moved around enough relative to the transmission that I had to notch the floor pan so the shifter would clear in off camber situations even though there was plenty of clearance on the level.

 

Think I'm going to weld a piece of rod in and notch out the floor pan a little.
Thanks Guys
