Yeah the plate expands and who tries to seal a damn gasket between steel and aluminum? Now I've got head gasket issues I think. Could be a stick valve. This morning it was making this clacking sound coming from the top end when I cranked it up on a cold start. Also at around 2 am every night when I'm out driving it likes to make a plume of white steam out the exhaust and run extremely rough.

Well, with 220k on the clock, you need to make a hard decision: do you want to keep the truck, or get out from under it. If it's the former, then I would go for a new long-block, and you can mod from there. If it's the later, then I would just repair it for as little as possible and then sell it.

My truck has 213K on the clock and I need to change the rear shocks. Should I follow your advice and sell it after I change the shocks?

I agree with you VW. Hell, I spend all my time wrenching on this truck anyways. I paid $2100 for it a year and a half ago. So far I've put around $4,000 in it. I know I can't get my money back out of it so I'm gonna drive it until the wheels fall off...which might be sooner than later with the bad idler arm.
