Ok as mentioned before. Update. Wasn't 100% sure it wasn't a blown head gasket do I'm tearing it down to replace them anyway. Now my question is. At 141,000 miles should I just get a new water pump while tore down this far??? Haven't had any problems with is this far. So trying to figure if I should spend the extra $65 to new one. I'm on a very limited budget here. Maxed out more like it now. I've got close to $750 in it at this point. Gaskets new lower intake new radiator. Just tearing down now all waiting to be out in. So was wondering bout the water pump. Thanks for any advice.

Goin get a water pump too well did. And while was at summit racing found me another great deal. A brand new bull bar for $45. So couldn't pass it up and got it too. I really need to stop Goin there. I always end up spending more then wanted LOLOL.

Well it's official. The head gasket went. Gt one side off today. The driver side and the gasket was seperated into three layers. And antifreeze in pistons. Must been Goin for a while but I got lucky and it gave out in my drive. So thankfully no locked up engine. Goin start on pass side morrow. See how bad that gasket is. I can't complain though. Have had the truck since 08 ad in second owner and this is the only time it has Ben down. Least I know when back together it will be good to go for many many more miles. Just waiting on parts to get here. Got the upper gasket set yesterday. Now waiting on head gaskets, radiator,lower intake. While waiting I'll clean everything up and then when it's all here time to rebuild lol. Gee if only I had extra to get a can and headers HAHAHA. give it a lil umph. When I took the imrc off seen the bushing on one side were not even there and it wasn't even hooked up it fell out. So over all when all done and said I may feel a bit more power. Anyone know a good site for the torque specs and order of tighten down the bolts????? Would post some pics but some reason I can't right now it's either my phone or the app. Lol.
Once my truck comes outta garage it will be a diff animal and looking diff also. Got a few new add-ons and redid the hood and a few other things. Will post pics once all done and back together and complete.
