Head Gasket... Complete!
#11
Kcab,
I did find the source of my leak, it was the valley pan. I posted on the forum and decided to proceed with replacing the head gasket as a precaution. It may not have been necessary -- but I would have been more irritated if after reassembly I still had a coolant leak than I am with the tick. I'm going to take a close look at the SAI system today, after reading a few posts, I think it may be the culprit.

Jef,
I am talking about the big (36mm?) nut that tightens to the adapter in the head. I was a little worried to tighten it too much because of other posts I read where the copper pipes have cracked. It was hell trying to loosen those nuts. I drove the truck from Auburn to Birmingham, AL today and it didn't miss a beat.
