If it makes you feel better I shaved travertine shower walls today...
Well, I was mistaken. It's not antifreeze I'm seeing, it's motor oil being blown out the #7 cylinder showing it wet around the head. They did a test on everything and it shows that it's either coming from piston rings or a bad valve seal. The mass air flow sensor was covered in junk as well. I have no clue why, because I was religious on changing the air filter. I probably should've cleaned it when I bought the truck at 125k miles already on it.
So if it's bad piston rings, I"ll be replacing the engine. And they'll fix the valve seals if it's just that and replace the heads as well. They're doing what they call a leak down test , I think, today to get the final diagnosis. Either way, it's gonna hit my wallet hard.

If it makes you feel any better, I owed the IRS an additional amount of money that t rump tried to find votes in Georgia
No bs!
No bs!Awesome news
A bunch of stuff was done, but replacing the engine was not needed. Only about $1300 in repairs was the cost. I’m so relieved.

Setting expectations.....
Ma'am, this carpet needs to be replaced. It's going to cost a lot.
Awesome news! I was able to clean it up for you for only $1,381.70
nah, I knew that what they did was worth the $1381. I kept in touch with them during the diagnosis and repairs.
I'm really glad I didn't take it the first mechanic that normally does the work on this truck. Because he wouldn't have did the full diagnosis and would've just taken my inaccurate assumption of the heads leaking and I would've been
$screwed$
after the problem was sill there.

Like unburdened or carrying you around?
Both, I may need to rebuild the carburetor.
I think the only way to check the coils is when they’re hot. I doubt they’re bad at only 67k miles.
When you said “running rough”, what specific symptoms are you referring to?

I'd OBDII scan it first, then swap whichever coilpack with another to see if it jumped from the original.. If so, then you know which is bad.. But since it's new to you, I'd do at least spark plugs, so you know they're good..
As for the serpentine belt, the GM LS 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L engines are the same, just different displacement size.. This is what pulled up for a quick google search..
