Hi Walter. Most of the head problems that I've ever heard of are a
result of coolant loss. It could also be air trapped in the system.
You mentioned oil changes, but was the coolant up to snuff? FWIW --
it's not enough to just check the header tank regardless of what the
manual says. The seal of the radiator cap might be bad in which case
the coolant will not be drawn back into the system when the engine
cools down.
Sorry to hear about your truck :-(
