A little more info that may be pertinent-
I had replaced the oil cooler after I bought the truck in 2014. About 270k miles ago. Temp difference between coolant and oil never got over 10 degrees, unless cooling down, sometimes the coolant temp would go down a bit faster.
But it’s looking to me like a failed oil cooler, unfortunately

So, I’m guessing oil…most likely. Drove to tire shop and coolant looked perfect when I got there, no darkness in sight window. Got home, drained coolant from radiator drain, then from block. First approx 3 gallons in one container, then rest from radiator in second container. Coolant itself looks fine for the mileage. The lighting makes it look much darker in a couple pics. It’s all the same light yellow as in the 3rd pic. But in the last gallon and a half or so from radiator def some of what I believe to be oil
Here’s the last gallon and a half or so from the radiator drain but tilted to emphasize the oil clinging to the side
Truck now has fresh coolant in it…have to drive it back to tire shop tomorrow morning because the stick on weights fell off 🤦♂️ so we will see!
