Ok heres the story kids. I started getting a random misfire code about a week ago, and the other day it over heated on me.

So I replaced the plugs and i did a radiator and block flush as well as the therm.

But now when i crank it it won't stay cranked it back fires and puts out alot of white smoke. So i am guessing egr or head gasket issues. What do you guys think?

Sounds like a head gasket. Do a compression test to be sure.

Dang!
