Puking while under a load

Well it has finally happened. My truck is at the dealership for coolant puking issues. It has puked once before while driving onto a side walk. Yesterday I pulled my Toy Hauler out to the desert to ride dirt bikes and I lost 2 gallons of coolant through the degas bottle cap. I lost one more gallon on the way home and had to pour plain tap water in. The temperature never got hot but the there was coolant all over my air box, front drive shaft, radius arms and steps. I hope they go ahead and diagnose the head gaskets so I can order up some ARP head studs. I am still running the truck stock without tunes because I just installed my gauges and wanted to get a baseline first so no problems there. I found studs for $409. Anyone know a cheaper place that will overnite them?

Browns Diesel may be able to get them to you under 400. Hopefully they don't just change the cap and send you on your way.

Thanks, I hope they don't either because I am being really nice to them hoping to get the ARPs installed.

I've puked plenty of times while loaded. Now that I'm getting older it doesn't happen that often.

Only when I mix the two different fluids (Beer and liquor). No this sucks though, but could be lucky since it is under warranty.

It only takes a couple weeks of drinking both to get over the "beer before liqour you're getting sicker" motto. lol

I have to sign a liability waiver but I think the ARPs will cure my problem.

Make sure they check the heads and block decks for flatness!

yes, the waiver states that any failure that could have possibly been caused by the studs will void the warranty. I will make sure they check the heads thoroughly.
