[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 4089849, member: 2469"] I plan on calling the shop to find out more detail on what they found when they looked at it. I appreciate all those suggestions. Like you said, a long block is the easy option and I’m sure most customers might take that road for the fact that it’s going to be a new engine with a warranty. This truck isn’t a beauty queen, but it is his daily transportation. The truck seems to run amazingly well even with the poor idle and misfires that it has. He’s just really hesitant to put the money into it that a shop wants to repair the motor or install a long block. The truck more recently started pushing coolant past the cap. He was afraid to take it to a shop because of what it might cost, and just parked it. I checked the cap and thermostat out, and both were bad. It only took a few bucks and couple minutes of labor to replace both. No more issues with the cooling system. [/QUOTE]
