Driving down the road not too far from home All of a sudden BAM fricken clack clack clack and pouring white smoke out tail pipe
Wasn't too sure, jumped out let idle and smelled...kinda like coolant
Came home quick and light on throttle and so far so good starts runs but clatters, notice a significant increase in oil level now UGH...wasnt any colour other than black though??? Not nuff time to mix to brown ROFL
Rad is low on coolant too...I can see top of core bare no fluid....EEEK! It was slightly pressurized too when I popped off cap...but not huge...truck wasn't even warm when this happened maybe drove total of 2 miles each direction...
So I guess it's compression test time and see which hole blows water...I'm thinking HG myself and hoping it's nothing more...
Uploading a couple of quick videos I shot too...

Other than the clatter it sounded OK, at first I thought stuck injector but all were cold to touch. Hmmm..
Leads me back to HG I'm hoping and not cracked block or head....
Anyone got any other ideas?
One angry, sad, disappointed, fellow. Hmmm...gotta get on getting fluid outta that engine so no rusty rusty I guess....arrrggghhhh
