Thank you Tim! I have heard so many people try to start that rumor (not that you are Baradium) and it is not true!! What people (mostly PowerJoke owners) are saying is that the head gaskets are going to fail because the block is steel and the heads are aluminum. As of this date no heads or gaskets have failed according to GM and Isuzu. I am on a boat forum and the PowerlessStroke guys are always trying to say they have a buddy that blew up three heads and got rid of the truck.....blah, blah, blah....

sorry to be off topic...
