Head Gasket ??
I will be taking my truck in for the leaking passenger side head gasket. Do they have to drain the oil when they replace the gasket ?. I put Royal Purple oil
in it, and will supply them the oil for the refill if they have to drain it.

I just had my driver's side replaced, and they drained the oil, radiator, and intercooler. Also expect it to take 3-5 days to complete! (at least we get a free loaner).
Also the must have refilled the oil with 8 quarts, because it completely covered the dipstick... I had to drain out at least a quart.

My feeling on this is to replace the head gaskets with,
Felpro head gaskets.
Part #s
FELPRO FEL1192L left side
FELPRO FEL1192R Right side
Just my two cents.
After looking at a set of head gaskets that let go in two or more places I think the stock head gasket will just leak in time.

I have an extra set of factory head gaskets and oil pan gasket that I bought with my employee discount. I have them for sell because I just bought a full complete set of gaskets for my engine overhaull.
The dealer would not let me buy everything except the head gaskets.
If anyone is interested e-mail me at gsuavy2002@yahoo.com
