A blown head gasket but no coolant issue? Can you have your mechanic perform a leak-down test and find which cylinder(s) can't hold pressure? How was a blown head gasket determined to be the problem?
Your overheating issue could be as simple as having a defective...
Nice fix. Say, by adding all the clear water, you may have diluted your mix. For instance, if the water/antifreeze mix used to protect you to -20, maybe it will only protect you to 0. Might want to do a quick check ($2 tool).
By the way, a less messy way is with the chemical handwarmer packs. Downside? They are more expensive. The potatoes have an additional upside...if you don't mind the taste, you can still eat them when you're done.
You sure it just isn't your fuel line frozen? It may solve itself when the temps are above freezing for a bit or you can try to heat it up yourself. It may sound silly but one way to do this is with potatoes. Get a bunch and microwave them until they are nearly molten. Run out to your...

2. Remove 4 screws securing glove box and remove.
3. Remove screw securing harness to blower.
4. Disconnect plug from blow motor.
5. Remove 3 screws that hold motor in and...
That has to make you feel a little exasperated....I sincerely hope it didn't grenade anything else.
There isn't much that can be done wrong. That said, the installer just has to make sure the caps are seated correctly and the u-bolts are cinched down correctly. Did the mechanic pump...
Looking at a couple of different vehicles:
08 Dodge 1500 Maxicab with 5.7 Hemi. It is huge:)
08 Silverado 1500 with 5.3. Not as big as the Dodge and gets better MPG.
Anyone have any experience with either?
