I've owned this truck since brand new and it had never been overheated. Don't tow with but haul occasional firewood.
It's been going through some coolant, but been writing it off to a slow front cover leak. Than started going through cylinder #4 spark plugs every couple thousand miles. Now have o2 sensor lean code bank #2 . Oil lab test show small amount of coolant in oil test. Also stumbling idle but still drives fine. 175,000 miles.
Pulled into the garage today and pulled all the plugs for a compression test.
#1 180lbs, #2 165, #3 177, #4 163, #5 0, #6 182. Not good.
Going to figure up how to do a leak down test tomorrow and find out where that compression is going in #5 .
Replaced upper and lower intake gaskets about 5 years ago.
4.0 engine.
Definite head gasket at least?
