    Thanks for keeping us in the loop on your journey. BTW - I visited Klamath Falls in 2007... its not that far...

    If I were a younger guy I'd go into business replacing Duramax head gaskets, injectors, pumps, and complete engines. The fear from the "look of complication/difficulty" goes away after having done a couple of them. The costs charged by dealers/shops today are so utterly outrageous. My two Duramax engines continue to run/perform very well - coming up on 4 years since replacing the head gaskets, injectors and other stuff in 2021 - but then I've been doing this sort of thing (GM engine work/replacement) off and on since I was 14.
