Blown Gasket, should I take it on a trip?

[woodchuck]

I have a blown head gasket but don't notice a problem until I pull a load up a steep grade. Will it hurt to take it on a 300 mile trip.

I probably wouldn't risk it. Get er fixed before ya overheat it and cause more damage.

Agreed. Do the ARP head studs while you're there.

It will do nothing but get worse. Subject it to the heat and stress of a long trip, and you might find yourself stranded a long way from home, with an expensive repair bill to pay, and your truck in an unknown shop for several days, if not weeks.

Get it done when you're in a position to live without the truck for a while, and may as well do the head studs while the heads are off.
