How many here have had a head gasket failure?
I got a dmax with 170000 bone stock with a k&n. I have had no problem other that a alternator, and some u joints. I also use it as a snow plow truck so its been ran good. I think the key to getting this trucks to run forever is to leave them stock. Yea i know that's boring and that's why i have begun my upgrading by ordering exhaust.
215000 miles when I bought it and the gaskets are just barely blown, I figured it out when I tried to check the coolant in the morning and it came gurgling out like there was a big bubble of compressed gas in the engine.
Dang it!
Dang it!
I went round and round with the dealer that my head gasket was blown and they kept telling me that there tests say they are fine. One monday morning a buddy of mine helped me tear into it,found 4 of the 8 cylinders were failing right around the ring of the cylinder.I gave him a few bucks and still had almost 3k into it. Oh that included the water pump.Back up and running wednesday after noon.



eplace my injected seals as well?
