Joe wants to know if they did a compression test?

Oil gets foamy when it mixes with coolant. Sounds like a head-gasket went bad.


Sorry, must not of been clear in my post. I was replying to what the dealership saying the oil was fine, just alittle over full. Shouldn't they of seen it was foamy?

If it was a high pressure/temp leak I can understand.. But the truck was cold sitting over 4 hours.. Hell i was able to take radiator cap off with getting blasted with steam or hot antifreeze.. The cap/radiator was cool to the touch and no pressure..

Beats the hell out of me.. The truck sync date must be wrong.. It must think it is April fools day or something..

Damn Greg. I smell a stinkin rat. Service dept. does not seem very motivated to get to the bottom of the problem. Who are ya gonna believe? Them or your two lyin' eyes...
Can't ignore the litany of issues you noted when this happened. Keep a keen eye on your temp gauge - if it is a blown head gasket you don't want to overheat and warp one or both of the heads

It is before a 4 day holiday.. I am sure they are turning and burning cars in the shop. And the tech didn't want to dig into it too deep. Which is fine.. I understand.. If it does warp a head, or anything else. I will throw an ungodly fit..Don't want to be stuck with a paid for 55k paper weight.

The first thing you have with a blown head gasket is the engine overheating and after shut down coolant will be forced in to the combustion chamber.
Not knowing the interior configuration of this engine…
Oil passages between block and heads normally have secondary sealing methods beside the head gasket; actually I do not know of a modern engine that uses the head gasket as the primary seal.
Water in oil will not necessarily lead to foaming, but it will create mud.
If the oil level in the engine is high enough it will be churned up and can get foamed up to the point of the oil film braking down.
I’d perfume a coolant system leak down test with the engine cold and hot.
