JOHNFAK, ya im doing all the work my self. i just got all the prices today and they are a piston kit is 85.00, a complete engine gasket kit is 350.00 and sending my head off to get checked and serfaced cost is 250.00. So the total cost in doing it my self is right around 800.00 so i will look up the labor hours next week to see so how many hours it calls to do this. guys i have it a lil easier then most people do when it comes to working on my stuff i worked in a shop when i was in high school and have kept in touch with him so he is letting me use anything that i need to get it done so i will get pics step by step and everything for you all. im hopping to get everything next week and have the truck up and running by the end of the week .

Dave3500 yes dave that is what im in the process of doing. engine is staying in and just messing with #5 piston. stock head gasket . yes i would suggestrunning a compression test because it looks like this gasket of mine was leaking just a lil bit at a time and then just went out. im done with after market stuff like that. Dave isyour truck running bad or are you just looking to try and prevent anything from happing?

kameronk, My truck is fine, just want to avoid possible problems. How's it going? Is there a link for this for me to check out the procedure for doing a compression check. Never done one on a diesel. I have for 2 & 4cycle gassers. Thanks, Dave
