the 3.0 head gaskets usual blow due to overheating because either the heads or the block are cast iron and the other is aluminum so they heat up and expand at different rates wich is why the head gaskets blow, so i wouldnt worry about it untill it goes, usualy theres no warning. and unless your the original owner i have a feeling its been replaced one already if it has 220,000 miles on it.
