6.0 sounds like semi-truck on acceleration

Hey guys, there is a video attached that gives sound, truck sounds like a semi-truck on acceleration, this just started yesterday. I can’t notice much of a difference in performance, the only other new thing I noticed is this white substance that looks like something popped under my hood! Any ideas?

Sounds like you have an up-pipe leak and your fan clutch is locked in completely.

Check your coolant levels - the white stuff looks like dried coolant. Make sure there aren't any leaks in the system.

Radiator is cracked leaking coolant , none left in reservoir. Could that potentially make the fan stay on?

It certainly could be the truck overheating and locking the fan in hard.

alright so I replaced my radiator but of course didn’t situate my fan clutch wire properly so it’s now shredded , and my cluster temp gauge stopped working , could I just splice this back in , would this effect my temp gauge ?
