OK i was on my way to vocational school today when my temp guage pegged out as i was pulling in the parking lot the first thing i checked was my resivor it was empty? so then i checked my oil and it was milky. just wondering if maby u guys have had a problem like this before and could you tell me what it might be the truck has 57k on it?
    i dont know waht it could be other than the head gaskets or water jacket?

    After looking real closely at my motor i found my problem. my TB was letting the anti-freeze go in to the blow by tube. HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!
    that was some luck huh? any way The fix was easy take the coolant line off the pass. side of the TB and run it to driver side coolant tube that is attached to the head. will have them posted in a few as soon as i figure out how to post pics. LOL
