Well I bought a new to me LBZ 2wd W/T in great shape about 3 months ago. Fixed a bunch of things like ball joints etc, added lift pump, gauges, fixed the EGR. Finally got it on the road last week. I Noticed a small puddle in my driveway only after it sits overnight. Sure enough coolant running down the pass side back corner of the block. Wipe it off and watch it start dripping again. Anyways it's a stock fuel truck, stock air truck with 180k on it. What's the best gaskets? Might pull the turbo and change wheels and rebuild it while it's apart but it's gonna be a daily so no big sticks going in.

Nope I checked that out and even order the DHD billet plate as I've had them leak before. I will try and get a picture. It's coming right out of the back front corner of the pass side head. I reached all around everything else is dry just out of that one
spot. Hose is hard in the morning also. Truck has to sit for around 5 hours then it starts dripping

Yep, youre right. Oh well, now you get to check the rest of the engine out, right?

Get with Brad or Henry to get your gasket kit and have at it.

Hopefully they will see this, probably pull the turbo while I'm at it and go through that also, unless someone has a smoking deal on one on here.
