Made it a year before headgaskets went out. Routinely towing 10-15K.

Added ARP studs when gaskets were replaced. Wondering if anyone has had a repeat failure after adding studs. With or without using a tuner?

Did they replace them for you under warranty or did they void it for your mods. You know that exhaust might have been the root cause. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif If it was done under warranty and you don't mind what dealer did the work for you? A lot of folks say the dealers won't use the ARP studs for a warranty repair so if mine ever go out, I want the studs installed too if it's a warranty claim.
