The truck is back in my possession, the new short block got to the dealer ahead of
the complete long block so that is what I got along with one new head to replace the
one that popped the headgasket it was warped.
Truck seems to have much better power, etc. Going camping in one week so will
see how it does towing the travel trailer....maybe better milage??
Thanks again for everyone's imput, it all was helpful.
