OK, I will try to make this brief.
I just went through 40 pages similar to my query, plus the the ones that I looked at. That made me worry more!
I was told when I bought this truck it had a blown head gasket, you could see it leaking. No problem, I've done it before. LSS, I got a good radiator and gasket set, but didn't have a chance to get to it before the weather started to get cold, so I took off the thermostat housing and dumped a gal. of antifreeze, just to be safe. The next thing I know there is coolant dripping out of the pan. (I did get a pan gasket with the others.) Would that much coolant get by the gasket that fast or does this sound like a cracked block? I guess a pressure test is in my future, I may need a little help there.
So before I start tearing down, what I believe to be a 216 on my 48 2 ton, I thought I would run this by you.
Edit: I stand corrected, after further investigation by casting #, it is in fact a 235ci. I believe the gaskets are the same,no? I hope.
Ran good on and off the trailer.
Side note; the muffler was split at the seams, explosively. No explanation from previous owner.
Please advise,
Thanks,
D.
