04 ram 4.7

You overheated it and was towing with it. True the old V8's could be abused like that, not anymore. Stuff is made so cheap now, nice when new, wears out much too soon.

Its rebuild motor time, the bearings and rings are shot, no point just doing the head gasket, IMO, won't last for long. Maybe you could stick a V6 in it but no more towing.
