    Geezer, one thing confuses me-- the little crack is in the valve bowl on cylinder #4, and the coolant was found in cylinder #3.... It makes me thing it was a bad head gasket/seal and that this little crack, while it probably needs to be repaired, wasn't really the source of my problems...I'm gonna take it to a head shop tomorrow and have them run a pressure test. I hope it works out, because for what I paid for this truck i can't really justify spending more than a couple hundred bucks to get it running again
