Hey guys,

I frequent the engine section of this site. And frankly, it scares me when I go in there. I was just wondering if anybody's had/been having any of the problems that are begining to be notorious. Namely;

- Head Gasket Oil Leak
- Piston Slap
- Wrong Radiator
- Rough Idle
- Door Crack
There's probably more, but I'm getting a little forclempted just imagining my truck having this stuff going/gone wrong.
