Found another leak. Between the intake manifold and engine block on the right side. With a 15lb. test, it drips pretty fast. Looks like an intake gasket, but also looks like I'm going to put it up for sale. At least on the next one I will know what to look for.

That might be the last motor problem, but I still need front end work, brake rotors replaced, and misc. here and there. I also hear a slight knock, so I'm not ready to gamble any more money into it, or leave my family stranded on the side of the road.

This won't be the last of me if this one sells. I'm getting another one. Thanks to you all, I'm much better educated on what to look for BEFORE I buy one, instead of after!

Well, thanks to you maxx, and talking it over with the financial advisor, I think I'm gonna keep the Burb and just get the things fixed. I've already gone through it and know what needs to be fixed. I've spent my time and energy cleaning it up and fixing what I can on my own. It's kinda grown on me, and like maxx said, I'd hate to get rid of it, and then come to find out it was just an intake gasket and it would have run for another 200K.

I know from being here a short time that I have plenty of help if need be and plenty of encouragement.

i was in the same boat as you pastor with my tahoe. at wit's end after few hundred in repairs only to not be working right. then took a day off of it, gathered my thoughts, and started over. turns out i had spent all i needed to money wise. it just needed a couple adjustments to be good.
