On that engine, its almost a no brainer= bad head gasket.
Knew 2 guys in Homer that had 2003 Duramax's and they both needed head gaskets within warranty. One of them needed a head too.
Obviously there have been improvements, but its still a common enough problem with ANY diesel. Doesn't matter who makes it.

People that used tuners or High performance chip are more susceptible to damage. That engine can make enough torque to stretch the head bolts.

Thanks everyone. Is replacing a bad head gasket expensive?
