They want the Truck for a week to dig down deeper, remove the head, etc. Luckily the 120K powertrain warrantee is in effect.

Good for you ED!! Keep us posted on the outcome. Head/head gasket issues are far & few between on these engines. Hopefully they'll get you fixed up ASAP, as coolant in the oil will destroy an engine in short order. I'd get a used oil analysis done (try bobistheoilguy.com) to get something on paper now- as to the condition of your engine's internals. Also keep an eye on your oxygen sensors & catalytic converters, since burning coolant destroys those as well. You've got about $1500-2000 alone in O2 sensors & cats on this truck. I'd bring that up (as diplomatically as possible) to the dealer as well!! Keep us posted!
G/luck
