head gaskets?
Alright you guys are causing me to be concerned. I also tow heavy trailer a few times a year, but the only time I saw water temps like that was coming out of death valley, outside temp was 126 so I figured 100 or so more for water pulling that hard wasn't too bad. I haven't experienced a head gasket failure with 233,000 miles on my 02, but I watch my gauges pretty close.
1. What was your first clue the head gasket was failing, was it something slow or did it just all happen at once? Just curious in case I start to experience the same event.
Kennedy you are right on the money. The wire ring and studs would be my obvious choice.
What kind of torque numbers did you use to hold em in place since GM's twist to partial distruction doesn't tell me much about how much torque is generated when you torque bolts the "new" way now?
