oil in coolant on 97 5.9 cummins
hey yall,
im a backyard shade tree mechanic with a 97 dodge with 220,ooo miles on a 5.9 cummins. the old goat has been good but she has a LOT of oil in the coolant. I pulled the oil cooler and tested in and found no leaks. The truck has never run hot and is all stock. I bought and replaced the cooler with a new one "before testing it" an d still got oil in the coolant. now im 5oo in the hold with still the same problem. any suggestions where to go next?:scare2::scare2::scare2: |
head gasket

I was afraid of that. Is the oil under pressure in the head? I had always thought it was pumped up to it and then it drain back down to the pan? Is ther anyway to check it"the head" before removal?
Thanks |
Its the head gasket mine blew two weeks ago.Look at the gasket when you take it off you can see where it was leaking.It is not to bad of a job good luck!

head gasket for sure oil pressure overpowers water pressure
