is she a goner? ive been told it could be as "easy" as a head gasket, and others say case is cracked youre fucked...

if its a head gasket i'mm golden (kinda) if it needs a whole new case im screwed...

i havent checked to see if theres any coolant in the oil, but the truck doesnt even leak a drop on the ground...

it has 133.5k miles, but i drive it like a bat out of hell, regularly maintain it, new belt/oil change every 3k miles (because i drive it so hard)

ive also jumped the truck a few times (offroading) could it have cracked the case with a hard impact?

lmk what you engine masterminds think

also if i havent provided enough information just lmk, i'll give you any info you need just ask

Oil in coolant is usually a busted water jacket aka cracked block. There is a small possibility it is a head gasket but it's slim imo.

QQ fuck me...

really sad to hear this

ill take it to a local shop to get it checked but looks like im gonna be trying to find a new motor pretty quick?

Well atleast those motors are common and relatively cheap/easy to work on.

youre so right...

I love you sig

New belt every 3k 0___0

Even if you drive it hard I would think you should not be replacing belts that often...


Imo just pull the head yourself and check it out. If the gasket shows no obvious signs of damage then you'll want to bring the head/block in to get pressure checked
