I found a 1995 diesel club cab dually for a ridiculous price but it has a leak from the head gasket.

What do you guys think? Would you even consider buying a truck with a blown head gasket?

What should I check for that would be a deal breaker?

Thanks

 

My first thought would be did they take it apart, check the head and block and decide they were too far out to be worth it. I'd check to see if anything looks like it's been apart recently. Fresh metal exposure on painted parts. Just a thought. Hopefully you'll get some more insight

auto trans was rebuilt with receipts. Motor starts but leaks water/coolant off the side of the head.

Thanks guys

 

I'm assuming it leaks at the front passenger side of the head?? And the truck could be driven right now

 

That's how it appears...what do you think?

 

Mine leaks, I still drive it .... After my F250 gets done with the hg job , the dodge is next...
install studs, don't bother with factory head bolts ... ARP it and be good for years ...

Don't forget to get the cylinder head decked before re installing new hg..

 

Mine seeps there to I wouldn't be scared to buy it

 

Naaa , use it as a way to lower the price , Either way a HG job easliy 12-1500 bucks with studs ...
