not a good idea. just change the cooler if that is the problem and flush with dawn then add new antifreeze.
-
I don't have clue what the Problem is.When I am Home I have Time and my mechanic can fix this Problem easy.Only I was Home for 2 day and now iam on the Road.I have a load from MD to Maine.What you think is better to canceled this run to Maine,and find a Load Home (MIAMI)

Serious problem will only get worse.If it was mine,I'd get it diagnosed and fixed right away.One of the problems with oil in the cooloant is,it can reverse itself when you shut the truck down.You now have pressure in the radiator,and it can put coolant in you oil.Yes,it's usually the oil cooler,but not always.
Shaggy76 Thanks this. -
OK,I LOOK TO FIND A LOAD TO GO HOME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
-
Now iam on a load to MD after when I do the Delivery,I look for a load to go back to my Home (Miami) and fix the Problem with the Oil

need to get an oil sample to see if there is coolant in the oil too,,,could be an oil cooler and could be a head gasket or worse,,best to fix it now what ever it is or you could be looking at $25K or more to do a complete overhaul..
This is a problem you don't screw around with -
I was doing today a oilchange and the mechanic was looking the coolant,for this I known the Problem. I drive to MD Finished the run and after I drive Home to fix my Problem.I don't know how long I have this Problem. When I was doing my last oilchange everything was ok.I hope I can drive home without Troubles engine runs nice.

oil cooler would be my first guess.

get it fixed! the oil will start to breakdown the rubber in the hoses from the inside out. you will see it when you open your hood in the mornings after the engine cools down over night and it looks like the hoses are sweating. the oil will make a mess that is troublesome to get cleaned out..
