The truck runs fine and all I just noticed it when I was lookin around under the truck. Maybe CSIPSP will chime in I know he has had a few motors go.

pictures are horrible as far as orientation but it looks as though its just your head gasket.

No I didn't think that at all. I was just about to $hit myself when I looked up and saw what looked like a crack. How hard is it to replace the gasket?

why do you want to replace the gasket? if your not loosing coolant, and its running fine then leave it alone.. it looks fine to me.

Good point. Thanks for the quick responses I was pricing out motors all day on the internet thinking the block was cracked. Thanks again.
