head gaskets blew no suprise
 
was on my way to ohio back to college yesterday and blew the head gaskets which it was fine when going over 10mph i first noticed it when i got off the highway so i am not sure how long it was blow while i was driving on the last highway of my trip back to ohio but i manged to get it home it blows white smoke like crazy lost coolant like crazy it almost overheated i already got the egr delete and oil cooler and intake manifold gaskets, n turbo bolts what else do i need besides head studs which i found for $420 anyone know where i can get em cheaper?? i found gaskets for 170 thought that was a steal and yes the ford oem should i go with the 18mm or 20mm dowel pin?? how much does it cost to get the heads decked??

I think 420 is cheap for studs. You should definitely get heads cleaned and decked mildly by a shop with diesel experience. They will also check for cracks ( common sry to say) and put in new valve seals. If you google the ford bulletproofing you will find a complete listing with part numbers. I'm not sure who actually posted it other than guy is good ford tech. Tells u all the gaskets and things u may forget. I would pull the heads and check dowel size then get gaskets while heads in machine shop.

Can't hurt to check but I would wonder who is doing the warranty work? If you know you are good wrench I would just do it myself.
