Truck has driven perfectly for 93000 miles. Started the truck one morning and drove approximately 3/4 of a mile and it died. No overheating, no smoke, no inidications of any kind. Wouldn't start. tried multiple times while waiting for a tow truck. Towed to dealer. After 1 1/2 weeks dealer said it was a blown head basket and that there was extensive rust in the cylinders. Wanted to replace the engine which was more costly than the truck was worth. When I went to the dealer to view the damage I saw the rust in the cyclinders. Heads had all kinds of dirt and build up on them. Asked them to clean the heads, machine them if need be and clean the cyclinders. They told me the truck would run so rough that the only soluton was a new engine. Anyone had this problem of a blown gasket with NO indications?
