    Hey dyno, a head gasket will run you about 800 labor and 300 ish parts. My front cover is also leaking so that's 1200 plus some gaskets. View attachment 66950
    Mine was leaking oil pretty bad.

    25 years old!! You have a good head on your shoulders young man. That truck can last you for a very long time. $10,000 is about 3-4 months payments on a lease purchase. I am impressed, good luck to you.

    Thanks sir. It was always my dream. It just kinda happen. Bought when I was 24 5months ago. But waited for 25 cheaper insurance. I wasnt going to tell my dad I bought it but I did.lol I learned from his 30+ years. I've been local since I was 19. I took him to pick it up he has since got more excited than me. I'm actually thinking its become his.haha He retired now he wants to go with and drive again part time.. He also always wanted a truck even tried 3times.

    I see you live semi close to me, I won't say the name but I drove a shiney W900L with a 72" bunk and chicken lights bug shield and rookie poles for a decent size outfit up there in Washington. Good place but I bought my old truck back.

    Any ideas who it's gonna be leased to.
