Strange circumstances with head gasket...

I think i lost a head gasket today, but it wasnt like any of the other ones i have lost. The funny thing was that when i first parked it it was leaking a little you could see little bubbles coming out of a maybe 1" spot, right in front of number one. I thought it was that little heater line at first, but then when we went the last little bit and parked it at the barracks it was dry, and that made no sence to me at all. anyone had this? Did the truck sitting a few minutes and cooling do somehting to make it stop leaking?

aside from that i did have a little fun with the truck i accidentaly had the tires fade passing a guy at 70mph, little strange feeling for sure. it was up hill with the passing lane ending, so i rolled into the throttle as i changed lanes and the rear started walkin out on me.

The head went later on down the road. It was a legitimate accident I had no idea what to expect from these things, and i was thinking i didnt have the fuel to spin them too far and the boost snuck up on me. 75psi and more than likely way too much drive pressure. it was only there as long as it took me to get out of it.

anyways that was the goins ons. preciate any help i can get. i am dreading the hg swap with the studs.
