Aaaaahhhh shit.... do tell!!
Sorry, I just saw this. Well one of the freeze plugs popped and not exactly sure when it popped. Truck has been sitting for a long time, and the dumbass had straight water in the cooling system. That photo is rust being blown out of the cooling system. I tried to remain optimistic about it as maybe it wasn’t as bad as it could be. After replacing all the parts that were compromised due to the water freezing; we found that there’s an internal crack somewhere in the engine. As the cooling system wasn’t filling up even after 6 gals added. We couldn’t tell if it was filling the crankcase until that point due to the new oil being so clean. Anyway, it’s not happy and I’m not sure what I’ll do with it. I want to fix it but everything in me is telling me to run. We’ll see what happens.
