If you have oil in the coolant, then the Engine oil cooler has a leak. The EGR cooler may also be bad. You need to fix these items and flush the cooling system before you continue to drive the truck. If you do not you risk over heating the engine and possible component failure do to low oil levels.

You need to find another means of transportation until you get this properly fixed.
