137k. The truck has been in California its whole life facing hills and mountains in hot heat, plus with 6000 pounds to push around and an AWD system putting more load on it, I wasn’t surprised.
I have to do both of mine this summer and reseal my upper timing covers. The hard part is pulling the injectors and buying the tool to do so. Then since your pulling them you might as well get them cleaned.
head gasket... sorry to be the bearer of bad news. these are all just classic bad head gasket symptoms. I believe you can buy a tester kit to put on top of the expansion tank and it will turn a fluid a certain color if there are exhaust gasses in the coolant. thats the first thing I would do...
when you say "won't start" how long are you cranking it for? did the issue suddenly appear or did it happen and then start taking longer and longer? any codes?

It is, I've been spectating the leak for ages. my upper timing cover is covered in oil fuzz and it starts to get liquid residue right under the passenger side upper timing cover. And my right side valve cover is leaking, I've seen smoke coming off the exhaust manifold on the drivers side, you...
Positive is routed from the battery and then grounded to one of the ground points for the taillights. You don’t want to ground anything to the battery negative terminal because it messes with the charging system.
So finally the time has come. 4 years ago I noticed a bit of a leak developing from my LH valve cover gasket and my RH upper timing cover and valve cover gasket however ive never throught twice about it, just check the oil level live value on the IID tool every once and a while (when the car is...
