How many 80ers here with a oem head gasket!

[warpdriv]

157k here and looking for 300k...

 

[MarkIowa]

156K on original HG ('95). A buddy of mine here in town has 180K on a '96 with no issues. I am confident that the odds are in my favor that I can get to 200K and beyond on the original. I believe because of the nature of forums, the HG failure rate "looks" higher than it is. Odds are good that when a IH8MUD person has one that lets go, they will post that it did. When a HG does not blow, people do not post....

PO put in the green (WHY!!), so, I guess I will stay green and flush yearly.

I'll keep thinking positive thoughts, buy my parts from Cdan and, if it blows, flat bed the truck home and get after it.

I will NOT worry about it. Life is too short to worry about things that may never happen.
