could a stuck thermostat cause coolant loss in my radiator? i had no heat, and the temp never went past half way. under my oil cap i have brown foamy residue. oil is clean. anyone know whats going on??????

 

Blown head gasket. Get it fixed before the coolant in your oil starts wearing stuff out.

 

can i get a second. but the oil is clean, this had started happening a couple days ago so we drained the oil and it was that just oil. can it be a stuck therom. steam was coming out of the overflow.

 

You may be burning the coolent. The head gasket may be leaking causing antifreeze to enter the cylinders. Does it run okay other then the heat problem?

 

lol well just before you posted i had to move it so my sis could go to work and it was rough and it staled on my, so i guess its a blown head gasket

 

just got off the phone with ted from engbldr.com ordered new timing combo and new top head set. I guess ill be tied up again for another weekend rebuilding (thank god its not football season)

 

Good luck man, I am in the process of the same thing, except someone overheated mine before I got it, cause my head was warped too. Im starting re-assembly now

 

1000 miles on the rebuild and now this.Ted said that the temp in a turbo motor will get to hot and it will throw off the ecu thinking it was retarded and blow out # 4 cyl. I guess we have to re hook the egr valve to keep the temps down. Any sugestions please help? Truck was running great untill today this sucks
