Pretty much, if that's the revs a 3/4 ton is doing at 55mph.
The head gasket problem is purely down to the two close cylinder pairs which had a decent amount of meat between them when the bores were small, but when they opened them up to 230 there's only 5/16" of metal there.
I've never seen a gasket blow anywhere other than there.
