BAMF FORD
I have a question for you guys, the coolant in my rig is black as Toby's **** what do you think the problem could be?
I am impartial to thinking it is head gaskets because the truck still runs strong, and there is not a significant loss in oil or coolant. The truck has been run this way for a year (it's not my truck.. Gf's mom.. I would never keep driving it) and the oil is just under half of the dipstick and the rad is still full when cold (albeit with black coolant). Someone told us that it could be... what was it now.. Something like an oil cooler? the O-rings go in them? (I think with almost 700K it may be a big possibility) How hard is this to do myself? I would say I have slightly above average wrenching abilities lol.
It is a work truck, so it does not see CONSTANT use.. which is probably how it has survived this long cooling with oil-freeze lol
What do you guys think the best course of action is? Scrapping it is not an option it is a loved truck lol.
p.s I took a picture of the rad cap....
