Sorry LX_TREME. It looks like you're living, breathing proof that frequent cooling system flushes will not keep the HG from failing. You were planning to replace the HG before the turbo anyway, right?

Yep these what she look like from the outside, 9 years showing all the beauty and power but when I'm about to make her happy (fix rear main seal) look what I found...concretejungle said:
P.S: No sign of overheat, No leak even the reservoir it's always full..but surprised....
I don't understand how someone who has been on this board as long as you can be surprised.
It sucks but it's part of the enjoyment of owning these trucks, unfortunately.
You just can't maitenance the HG away, as much as people would like.

Agree - good maintenance doesn't seem to keep the HG at bay. My 93 was living proof. Bought it new, regular flushes, blah blah.
Get your injectors cleaned/flowed as well - will help an engine stressed by pressurizing last longer with uniform cylinder temps, etc.
