Foam in radiator?
I went mud bogging sunday and noticed my truck was over heating somewhat. I washed out the radiator and still the same problem. When i opened it up and started to flush it out i noticed white foam coming up from the radiator and the overflow box. Went i flushed it the antifreeze came out brown and it was green, I hasn't been in the engine for more than a few months so i'm not sure what went on. SO wth is this foam crap all in the damn thing??
thx

What color is your oil? if it looks like choc milk then well you have a blown head gaskset my friend.... I've heard of cross contamination in the oil but not the other way around... its still worth checking for the hell of it.

the cross contamination goes both ways... had that problem with an old mercury cougar I had. I had foam in the radiator, but you could smell the difference too. Sounds like a head gasket to me too though bud,
