[QUOTE="97f350stroker, post: 1343700, member: 5200"] So about a month ago I was driving down the road and my truck began to run a little rough, pulled over and started checking things out. Noticed the coolant bottle was low so I popped the cap and sure enough there was oil in there. Take the cap off the rad and full of oil. Figured I'd check oil, pulled the dipstick and it's WAY over full and it's a grayish color and super thick to where it's almost chunky. Had it towed home and didn't get a chance to mess with it until yesterday. Drained the oil and some coolant came out first but not much and then oil started to drain with the consistency of a milkshake and still had a grayish tint to it. Decided to hold off and weigh my options before I pulled it apart. I was wondering if the oil cooler capping the bed could cause my engine oil to look like that, I know the oil would make its way into the coolant but wasn't sure that coolant would make it into the crankcase. My plans are to pull the cooler and check it out I already have new o rings there for it. Just wondering if I'm more likely to find that I popped a hg or or maybe have a cracked block somewhere. Prior to that day I had no issues with the truck it ran great no problems starting or any overheating. Just looking for opinions [/QUOTE]
