[QUOTE="Apats77, post: 1037965, member: 74802"] Y’all definitely got my head going. Would love to do the 5.0 swap but I have a newborn coming next month. Wouldn’t have the time to do that. currently we are gunna do some tests to confirm the headgasket is indeed the culprit of air in the coolant and the misfire. Only other possible issue is the tstat housing leaking in air. Because time and money is the issue I am contemplating pulling the heads and replacing gaskets with the full fel pro kit and having the the heads resurfaced. I’d like to leave the engine in if possible. Anyone have input on this and what to add? like I said money/time is the issue. I’m not sinking 12-1800 into a truck that cost me 2000. I just need about 4-5 more years out of it if minimal use. daycare/Home Depot/groceries [/QUOTE]
