  • We had a 82 caprice that got that bad . We used straight pins with those round plastic heads pushed in diagonally, ( almost sideways ) . Man I have been missing that car here lately .

    • I suspect the price of ramp trucks is going to increase due to the market cornering antics of FG.... ah well, ramp truck ownership was only a pipe dream for me.

      • I feel bad(ish) for Finnegan - but seriously, if the coolant is leaking out of the head I can only imagine the thought process is "Hoovie has nothing on me".
        And with that said, as one who suffers in silence about how 'terrible' the 6.2 and 6.5 Detroit diesel is.... remind me again, what is so awesome about a Cummins? for all the Cummins lovers - now would be a wonderful time to practice your right to STFU. That was a stock motor that squeezed out its headgasket... stock, 30k mile motor...

          I saw video footage of the Cummins maintaining a proper Interstate speed without having to be at the top of it's rev range.

          Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

            funny thing, the Detroit diesel does it as well - best part about it is it sounds awesome too. I watched their last Finnegan v. Cleetus (who noticed that the same guys who built the motor for Finn also built a motor for Texas speed?) - they blew the stock motor up, then Finn goes on about how Tony blew up the v2.0 .... umm, I didn't see Tony anywhere when they blew this truck up.... HOWEVER... my issue isn't them blowing motors up (after all, does anyone even blog Camrys?), it's a shot across the bow that the next cummins fanboy that dares breath a mumblin' word about my Detroit motors. There will be more coolant leaking from their heads then on a 5.7.

              • My guess is it's an age thing not miles. Dan just had the head gasket replaced in Truck 02 model 270k miles.
