got the truck started monday morning finally but now i find out i got a freakin cracked head gasket for christ sakes

[njjuicer]

wierd i never had a bad head gasket stop any of my beaters from starting up and smashing shit on garbage night and recycle night hehe......but if ur not doin it urself it can be pricey

[morbid316]

it wasn't the head gasket that kept it from starting. I had a frozen gasline.

i just found out after i started it that my head gasket was shot

[Got Gear?]

Ah yes, was wondering why you were low on coolent.

And the proper term is "Blow head gasket" or "Leaky head gasket" The gasket is made out of a paper/rubber compound, no way it's gonna crack.

Good luck with the truck. Not a very expensive fix as far as parts go. But a fair amount of labour so it's cheap to do yourself, but can get costly to have a shop do it.

At -28 celsius, it doesn't much matter how new your battery is. In that type of climate, it's good to have a battery heater. You should be able to jump it off with no problem, I would think.

I had the same problem when I was in the service stationed in South Dakota.

Frickin' Brrrrrrrrrrr!!

if the vehicle had a lack of antifreeze and the temps were extremely cold, the engine may have frozen. i have personall had this happen to my vehicle, i had a leak in my radiator and it drained it out when the temp was about 0 degrees farenheit.
