    a lot of short trips that don't let your motor get up to running temp I believe.

    I think I read that these trucks get moisture in the fill caps

    Hate being the bearer of possible bad news but... that could possibly be coolant in your oil which means a probable head gasket.

    Has the truck ever overheated or been in extremely cold weather with old/bad coolant?




    take a good look at your coolant, see if there is oil floating on top.


    Just clean all the white stuff off, change the oil, change the coolant, and keep a close eye on things.

    Yeah, I just read the link, that's the one I saw before! Helpful for sure


    My truck doesn't have this condensation, although I only have 3,xxx miles on mine. Does this happen to almost off of the 2nd gens?


    edit: btw, Great looking truck OP, I really wish I had gotten the super white.

    Let me guess, cold and short stop and go's? That will do it. If it was a head gasket, you WILL know!

    That's what mine looked like the last time I changed my oil. I'm glad I had heard about the moisture problem before or else I would have really freaked out.
