He said it still ran fine just lost a little water,Is the block known to warp after the heads go bad? I've heard a few people talk about Duramaxs that leak water,Heck my 6.5 has the worst rep. of any diesel and it gets it done just fine and 22mpg at that....might only make 10 hp..LOL but it does the job....May-be they sent the heads off to have them checked? May-be they guessed?May-be you can see the crack???
