Don't get me too excited now.. I could UV dye it but either way I have to get into it. I'll check the injection system as well for timing. Do you have a link on how to do that by chance?

Caught it before coolant mixed (at least visually). There's peculation in the coolant reservoir as well as black specs from exhaust particulate, white sweet smoke, and coolant is disappearing. I wanted a second opinion and had a mechanic friend look over it and he came to the same conclusion.

I'll be doing headgaskets soon...:mad: 77 miles on the odometer on pick up (stamped 09' reset at 17 miles). Serviced all fluids, performed 500 mile break in procedure as mandated, blew a gasket at 812 miles. Starts instantly, runs like a champ, even with the issue but all signs say bad head...

Troop seats installed and secured. Filled in a few holes from the previous armor package. The temp gauge is working intermittently so that's on the to-do list.

Almost done with all major PMCS from glow plugs to hoses. Did some shake down runs these past few days to work the kinks out and set up the troop seats in the bed. There's a whirling sound when I left off the throttle that is new to me but everything seems fine. Hmm..

That's pretty slick. I'm building towards that with my M1123. Just need a brush guard and air lift bumper.
