trucks got about 16k on it. I tow alot yes. I transport horses for a living so while the truck is down, im not making money. it scares me to think they have to pull the cab to work on the motor.

So the head gasket issue was resolved and the truck is up and running once again. I lucked out on this time, it wasnt a pinched gasket like the other side. it was your typical garden variety blown head gasket. So they got it all buttoned up and she's up and running strong again. The dealer service managaer recommends I go with head studs if im gonna run a tuner. Any thoughts on this?

I gotta agree with the studs but I'm not sure they make ones for the 6.4 yet as it has larger studs than the 6.0. I would like to hear from some techs as to whether they are hearing anything about Head gasket issues with the 6.4>>>>
