[QUOTE="quadracer219, post: 1110059, member: 577"] need some help here guys. I have a 06 with a egr delete, coolant filter system, head studs and gaskets, and new oil cooler. I recently went to change my oil and all filters. Drained oil and looked great, no water or milky substance. Went to change my coolant filter and pulled it off and it was a milky orangish mixture. Then I went to degas bottle and same thing. So I drained all my coolant and took upper and lower hose off and ran water through the radiator to rinse any residue out. Let it water flow through until it was clean. Next thing I did (and I'm sure this prob will upset/disturb some of you) was to leave the lower hose off and run the motor with a garden hose into the degas bottle. The amount of milky nasty whitish orange residue that came out was unreal. I let the motor run until clear water was coming out. Hooked the lower hose back up and ran it around maybe 5-10 miles and drained it. Still had the milky stuff in it. I repeated this process 4x and each time it was less and less. Now my main question is can this residue be residual from when my head gaskets were done or is there something else I should be checkin or worrying about. Also I checked my trans fluid and it was blood red. No water that I could see. I did this by pullin the plug on the pan. Also if the radiator was failing and trans fluid was gettin in the coolant system, over the course of me filling it with water and draining it wouldn't I see trans fluid in the water when I drained it? Any input is appreciated [/QUOTE]
