Before cab lights black grille and black exhaust tips

This is my baby that I'm pretty sure hates me

So how much 2 cuycle oil do you add?

I've got a gauge just need to install

He got rid of it at the right time 2 days after I had it had to replace transmission then couple months later injection pump and lift pump then alternator and batteries now this I've only had it almost a year I love it though it was completely stock when I got it still had cats

It's stock 99 2500 4x4 no 53 block thank god I have 4 inch downpipe with dual 4 inch pipe out the back leveling kit 22x12 wheels with 35s it do have a smarty Jr oh and why trans temp and boost gauges

Thanks o know this is the first time the head will be off the original owner is good friends with my dad. Thanks for the info I appreciate it.

Should I add studs while I'm at it? Isn't there something I have to get machined if I'm doing studs for clearance?

Its been something constantly tearing up on it for the last 6 months as soon as I fix something something else tears up

No its not my Dd just looking for some insight on what others have done I guess I will start tearing her down I was really wanting to wait til it warmed up but I hate not driving it. I haven't needed to pull anything with it lately so its just been parked til I figure out what I'm gonna do for sure.

I'm assuming couldn't retorque head bolts and possibly stop the leak?

No more than 5 seconds it was 60 degrees today the temperature doesn't seem to affect it and I run rotella t

Also another question not to do with coolant when I start my truck it takes what seems like forever for my oil pressure to come up is this normal as well? I was running six filters but read somewhere that there not good so I switched to molar but the same result

I'not sure why that posted twice

Im losing coolant maybe a gallon every month or so.

I'm losing coolant. The freeze plugs don't appear to be leaking there not wet atleast. Its actually wet between the block and the head I will try to take a picture in the morning not sure if I can get a good enough one for you guys.

The head has a weep on the backside. I'm not getting coolant in my oil that I can tell or vice versa. My question is is this something I should fix right now or run it til it starts dripping?
