Was clearly a head gasket cause it leaked compression into the cooling system I guess and blew the upper hose twice. And then the radiator. That’s with 180* thermostat the first time and no thermo the second hose and radiator. This was a few days ago. It put me in a bind because I needed a ride...
Okay I need to explain everything so all info is there.

My truck had a 160* thermostat since purchased. I replaced the radiator appropriately 1.5-2 years ago.
Well a couple weeks ago my thermostat hung closed AND my water pump (likely factory) started pouring out water...
My CCSB has highway vibration. And I keep a 500lb welding machine plus 400lbs of bottles and tools. Brand new tires that I’ve rotated and rebalanced. I have my gooseneck hitch welded to the frame rails so I can’t imagine they’re vibrating from resonance. Driveshaft shows no slack but to my...
My driver window has completely stopped working now. If I hold the “window down” button down, the what I assume is the relay for the automatic feature starts clicking over and over. I tried 3 other switches and all did the same. Every window works except for the front driver and on all the...
When I drive in the rain my brakes lock up at slow speeds like parking lots or pulling out of gas stations. What’s with that? I can barely press the brake to stop before I leave a store and it’ll grind or vibrate or something and lock up instantly. Only when it’s raining. Brand new pads, rotors...

My wipers work normal and perfect sometimes, rarely but sometimes. The rest of the time, all intermittent options go the same speed (prolly second or third fastest speed option) except for the highest one. It goes faster. If I turn the switch off while they aren’t acting...
Wouldn’t the MAF trigger a trouble code or a CEL?
Btw I replaced the Balancer this morning and she’s back to herself mostly. That hit must have adjusted the brake calipers or jawed up my rotors something fierce. Idle and accel. are as before but giving the brakes any pressure and the whole...
So this morning I have to replace the harmonic Balancer after I hit a massive dip on these unmaintained roads here, and bottomed the front end out. It spun on the rubber and now off balance.
Anyway what I would mostly like input on is why since I’ve owned the truck am I getting 6-7 mpg. It’s...
