My truck got hot (235°) one day (about a month ago) and I immediately pulled over and opened the cap. Coolant boiled over and a big chunk of orange rtv came out with it... I put 2 gallons of coolant back in it and it's been great ever since.
Until I saw my radiator start leaking a week or two ago. I pulled the cap and there is oil all over the cap and in the rad.
The truck runs great and doesn't smoke or anything and doesn't ever get above 190°. I'm pretty sure it's the oil cooler.
What exactly causes it to die? Just the o-rings or the heat exchanger inside the tube? What is the kit y'all recommend to fix it? How long can I limp this along before fixing it? Anything I should check to make sure this is the issue?
