Hello I hate to ask here but your experiences might help me on what to do. If I was not so broke I would know LOL
I've had the 88 4X4 for 5 years and love it. I've ran it up to
167 K Just been through spending about $700.00 on it new chain front oil seal and having a guy spend a couple hours trying to find out why its started running bad he could not find a problem and blamed bad gas I knew that was BS.Next I found out about the throttle body. I cleaned it and it ran great but not for long. My head-gasket blew !!
I want to keep this truck for a long time !! My question is will a new or rebuilt head screw up my lower end?? And what's the chance of my head being OK and just needing a gasket.
This engine has not been a oil burner. I really would have to dig deep to get a new engine. I guess I want to know if you think its worth chancing just working on the upper end.
Thanks A Bunch...Greg
