Check your own syntax, or is it sin tax? Thinking folks understand you're the one likening the good advice I'd volunteered, to your provocative imagery:

Cute, you lecturing me on "proper rules of English" & "code of conduct" after peppering your posts w/comments like "rammed down (your) throat like a 14" pecker" "*****" & "****". You apparently have a different motives when you "come to a forum". Having skin that's much to thin, you made a sharp detour from your own topic, rushed to hurl insults, pick fights & pretend you're the 'Church Lady' imagining you've "schooled... just another name on another truck forum". Is that what it takes to make you feel "special"?

If this thread is representative of "the short time" you've "been on this forum" you're in deep trouble. Since when does it require "enough guts to ask a question"? Since when does anyone earn "respect" for "having the *****" to ask a question? Keep "sitting" there "laughing" your "**** off" still not knowing why your truck is about to blow up, or what to do about it. When the motor fails, forcing you to hire pros to fix it, should serve to "entertain" you too. Your infantile diatribe no longer even alludes to your mechanical woes. My attitude had been a willingness to post a source of parts diagrams & discuss common reasons oil leaks into coolant. However out of respect to your frail emotional state & to honor Beast12's suggestion, I'll refrain from continuing to volunteer you information & not "say anything at all" further on your serious problems.

 

I did, and mine checks out. Yours doesn't. Especially this next little tidbit:

Which was either useless as I'd already done it, or needlessly redundant.

Which I use to make people laugh. Note here that I have yet to use an actual cussword in this discussion with you, and I've only used one real cussword on this forum since I've been here.

It seemed necessary at the time, considering you had proven to lack a clear understanding of the English language.

After your attitude, that seemed necessary, too.

Which are attempts at comic relief -- everyone else seemed to have got it. You're the one who is slow on the learning curve there, my friend.

How's that? The forum is designed for people to post statements, and others to respond to them. I posted the statement, and you fulfilled the purpose of the forum by responding. Oh, and nice grammatical error.

You only wish.

I'm sorry, who was the one that made the initial condescending & derogatory statement? Oh, that's right.

The attitude there was not necessary. I had not said word one to you.

It's not an insult if it's true. I haven't picked anything, I just asked you to be a little more respectful when talking to me and other forum posters.

Umm... What? Since when did I claim to be all-righteous?

There's no imagining to it. You were abrasive and rude to me and quite a few others, and you finally got called on it. Get over it.

You are just another name on another truck forum. So am I.

No, actually. To make me feel special, people like you get rapped on the head by a moderator. :-P

Eh?

I dunno, since the age of, like, 3?

As I said before, the knowledge you undoubtedly have is not specific just to you. I can ask any number of other posters here and get the same information. You, yourself, are not special.

Actually, heh, if the motor were to fail, I wouldn't have to. I've got an alternate 4.6L engine with 22,000 miles on it waiting to be dropped into the truck -- all I have to do is use my brother's trailer to take the truck 200 miles and drop it in. I'd just rather not have to do that.

Yours hasn't even really been constructive ever since you opened your mouth anyway, so... yeah.

Actually, no, it hadn't, or else you would've done it.

Shrug. That's fine by me.

----------------

Anyway. Can anyone give me a full listing of symptoms of a blown head gasket, or a link to one? I keep getting the idea that it is a blown head gasket causing some of the problems thrown at me, so i wanna investigate that.

In the meantime, I'll be on Google.

 

Well Loony, Some of the symptoms are water in the oil, oil in the coolant, excessive pressure in the cooling system, coolant in the cylinders causing misfires and white smoke and overheating. Any or all of these can be caused by a blown head gasket.
I would first pressure test the cooling system to see if the pressure bleeds down. If so, find out where and you may have found your problem.

 

Blah, blah, blah, you're getting colder

loony, I do agree w/you on one thing

You have been the "comic relief"

 

Oh no....here we go again.

 

The smell of gas in your oil? Do you do a lot of excessive idling? I havn't heard too many injector problems with these engines but any fuel in the oil isn't good. Maybe at least change the oil out immediately due to the fact it could cause excellerated wear in your motor.

I had a slight squeel also, that is always a tough one to diagnose...I just put on a Gatorback belt and it cured my problem there. I gave all the pulleys a good once over with any emry cloth first.

 

I wouldn't "immediately" worry about "excellerated wear" unless enough gas was leaking into oil to raise it's level. Loony's immediate problem is to identify the sources of the gas & oil leaks & stop them before they get bigger.

With gas in loony's oil & oil in loony's antifreeze, an oil change wouldn't solve a thing. The new oil would just get contaminated. PCV should suck out most gas vapor. Loony needs to diagnose his problems, is struggling, drawing at straws, bashing those offering help & rejecting advice. You might as well of suggested loony go polish his putter.

Oh yes....did you re-calculate that last wayward MPG downward yet?

 

To honor what beast12 said earlier, I will refrain from responding to Club's deliberate attempt at provoking me. I will say only that a full read of this thread will show his last statement as it regards me to be completely false. I have not rejected advice, and I am not bashing those who are trying to offer me help. I am bashing those who feel that because I am a novice in this, they have the right to treat me like crap. Well, no, you don't.


Either way, I think I have a handle on what's causing everything, I just need to wait til pay-day to get the stuff I need to fix it. Have a good day.

 

Any "full read" reveals my helpful advice & the Q that eliminated tranny cooler leaks, you reject that & have done the lion's share of bashing by a wide margin. IMO you went deliberately & far out of your way to attempt to provoke me. Your issue became how that advice was delivered & embarrassed yourself.

Since this seems to be all about "*****" & "respect" to you, why not post your theory so "those who are trying to offer...help" can air it out for you?

 

It most certainly will. Fuel mixed into oil will cause more wear, it is not good for the oils TBN.


The fuel is in the oil and it isn't going to be ventilated out...don't throw around something you don't fully understand.

You might want to practice what you preach bud.

Let him answer for himself, he has shown a lot more intelligence than you have.



Your grasping at straws...yet again. Go start your own thread if you got a problem with me.

 

Face it. You just uneccessarily went out of your way to express your problem with me.

I'd responded on topic. No oil change is ever going to solve loony's problems. His problem isn't "excellerated wear" its accelerating leaks of gas & oil.

Way back when loony was still happily taking others' advice about tranny cooler "oil" leaks in the radiator, he stated there's "no water in the oil" loony "already had it tested". My Q's got loony to state it was motor oil leaking. If I had reason to suspect a head gasket failure, I'd expect water in oil to be a real possibility & want to drain the oil to see if there's a puddle of antifreeze at the bottom of the pan.

I never suggested that fuel diluting oil is good for anything, merely put priorities into perspective. (Perhaps I've run to many 2-strokes, that essentially have no oil & run on the fuel mist ladened with 1 part oil to 50 parts gas?) Gas evaporates quickly at oil pan temps. Gas vapor also has a strong odor even in low concentrations. PCV was designed to draw vapors out of the crank case directly thru the intake to be burned. Your strategy seems limited to bailing the water out of a leaking boat. Mine was tackling the challenging & more complex problems of finding & fixing the leaks.

 

Let's face it......you're a hipocrite.

 

In the interest of alleviating tension on the forum, I am bringing this thread back from the dead.

Club -- all bashing and joking and everything else aside, you mentioned that you have parts diagrams and a few other things that you said you had, but never provided. Will you please provide that information?

 

Lets keep it civil and about the problem at hand, not the conflict of personalities please.

Thank you.

 

That's what I was doing. I'm being respectful and politely asking Club to provide information he said that he had.
