Have a 97 GMC dually 454 with 150,000 miles. Do not want to get rid of it as it is my hauler and is paid for and runs like a striped ass ape! Problem is leaking oil from valve covers,oil pan, front seal, rear seal. New truck out of the question. Moneys tight but want to get it fixed. Would you rebuild it? Just have all the gaskets replaced? Any reccomendations on a shop in Santa Clarita Valley?

I would drop it off with Barry (Obnoxious here on the boards) he's in Glendora.

That's pretty low mileage to rebuild, no? I would try to find a good local guy that can help you get those leaks fixed for a good price.
