160k and no overheat till the other morning. Then it was kinda spectacular. Shows the classic signs of a gasket gone bad. I am not looking fwd to tearing it down. Already budgeting to put fresh heads on it as well.

Looks like a head gasket has bought it. At the very least, I have an issue with combustion pressure making it into the cooling system. Also lots of water out the tail pipe. Oh yea ME!

Martin, All is well in my Libby world again. It seems the torque converter was the issue. Can tell the trans is fresh. So today I changed the bad O2 sensor and did the plugs. Then drove it!

The first two and last two are related. Both of the downstream O2 sensors are bad. Downstream is the after the Cat (sensor 2). P0137 is Bank 1 (left Cat) second sensor. P0172 caused by the above fault P0157 is Bank 2 (right Cat) second sensor. P0175 caused by the above fault

brought my Libby home from the Trans shop.
