[QUOTE="rpf500, post: 547697, member: 6870"] [b]Re: Duramax head gaskets???[/b] Thanks for the info Tyler and Nate. There are no particles in the tank that I can see and no bubbles while the truck is running either. I'll do a compression test just to be 100% sure, but I am already confident that it's the gasket. I'm probably going to let this job go to a shop. I read some posts about doing it and I just do not have the motivation for it. Maybe it's the cold weather or maybe it's the memories of doing this 2 winters ago on my other truck with a 454 and that being a bitch. Visually, this one looks 10 times harder and from what I am reading, it is. One other question....Am I good to drive this thing a distance? I have no shops in my area that I'd let do this job. I want it to go to a diesel shop once I find one. I assume I can still drive the truck there, maybe just take it easy? No coolant is getting in the oil like you'd usually see so that is good I guess.
