    Help another poor soul ensure it is a head gasket

    The rig hasn't been driven since getting it home. Its parked in the garage and the bumper cover, bumper and air components up to the TB are already off. Picked up an engine hoist and stand and the shop manuals arrived today. Going to start into it this week.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I told my friend I would buy it. Haven't taken possession yet. Anyone have a good recommendation on where to get a real manual for it? I would like to have the information about what pipe and such are back there. Stephen

    So, I have an opportunity to buy an '03 from a guy I have known for a long time for $650. He is basically looking to get the tire value and the $150 the scrappers would give him out of it. It has 2 known issues. #1 One of the power windows recently stopped working. #2 #8 cylinder has a minor...
