Started up the truck this morning and had white smoke coming frome the exhaust. Normally there is nothing noticable. I got to work and the trooper was overheating to the point of spewing coolant out of the overflow. My guess is my head gasket is blown:swear: I guess my question is has anyone changed their head gaskets and if so any thing out of the ordinary i should look for or any pointers to help out would be most appreciated. Or if you think it could be something else i would be all ears. Thanks for the help!

Well my guess is correct. I pulled the passenger side exhaust off and started the truck. Sure enough, out comes coolant. Now my question is there an easy way to get to just the passenger side head. It looks like i could take it out with out much complications. Alldata tells me to take off alot more than it looks like i need to. Any pointers from someone who has done it or knows more than i do ( which is all of you) would be Awesome. I am hoping this wont be as much of a headache as the last head gasket i changed. Thanks in advance.
