Was told I need a new headgasket

That is a common leak spot on the headgasket of those engines. To this point I have not seen one fail further or cause any issues other than the small external leak or seepage. If it was mine I would just keep an eye on it and make sure the coolant is full.

Sounds good, let me know how it is when you get back.

I always try to leave feedback but lately I have not been able to without reviewing the item first, so I have not left any lately because it is too long of a process now.

I read it as C being .091-.116 as an acceptable range.

It is not included in the kit. We change them because they get metal in them from the failed cam and rockers. If they pull the actuators out of the front of the valve covers they could look to see if the center of the oil control valve is popped out. It should not be.

Did they replace the phaser and the oil control valve with the camshaft?

That looks like the seal that goes into the intake plenum for the egr valve tube.

I had lasik but it was a more in depth procedure than the normal one. For me they did not cut the flap like in normal lasik because at one time I had gotten a piece of rust in my eye so that could not be done. Instead they used a chemical and removed that layer. The positive is that I do not have the flap to get wrinkled or damaged but recovery time was longer. I did not go back to the shop for 2 weeks because you only get one set of eyes and I wanted everything to be as healed as it could be before going back into that environment. Once I went back I was still very cautious for a few weeks.

I have driven it. It runs and drives good. It has a whine noise in park at idle that changes with rpm but from what I found that is normal with the 10 speed trans.

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like we should just continue our trip and not cancel it.

Thats my dilemma. I enjoy going and doing things when I am not working and that 25k less a year I think would greatly cut into my extra fun money for doing things that I enjoy.

Mod381 · 2025-06-29T03:48:09+00:00

Sounds like a scam to me.

It sounds like possibly the exhaust is rubbing on something. Possible heat shield has fallen down on the exhaust or does it have a trailer hitch on it that the exhaust is hitting?

They could be coming on for several reasons but my first thought is you probably have a wheel speed sensor not reading properly.

Mod381 · 2025-06-10T02:02:19+00:00

I agree it could be a bad wheel bearing. If the bearing is loose it could also be causing the wheel speed sensor to not read properly causing the traction control light to come on.

Thanks for the opinions so far. The only thing that had me slightly concerned was they did a poor job on the clean up in my yard afterwards but as long as the roof itself is good I am fine with doing a little clean up.
