Noticed the coolant was low and then randomly checked the oil and it was milky....Decided to drain it and found this..

I have been checking it everytime before I drive it so whatever caused this happened the last time i drove it (about 5mins)
I currently have all the oil out and have no idea where to start on what caused this, but it looks serious.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'll tear down the top half of the motor Friday and see what I find. I'm hoping its the intake gasket I keep seeing around. The thing never overheated or anything so I don't think it's a head gasket, but who knows.

keep us updated. I hope it works out for you.

Pictures of the vehicle? Curious on what you got for $500.

Here are a few when I got it Sorry for how big the pictures are...dang phone(I've cleaned the inside quite a bit) I drove it about 100miles home and couldn't figure out why my ass was burning up only to notice the seat heater was on high lol.

Nice find for $500, I would have bought it myself as a parts vehicle and saved hundreds on parts I need for my truck.

Did you get the 4wd working? if you get the drive shaft in and it still doesn't work, check/replace the "Transfer Case Control Module" which is under the dash, you can get one from the junk yard. The other thing to check is the switch itself on the dash, do the lights on it light up? If not you can get one of those from the junk yard too for like 5 bucks.

I also had coolant leak into my oil and it was the intake manifold gasket. You can check if it is the heads by doing a compression check at each cylinder.

Thanks for the advice. 4wd is on hold until I get the leak fixed. I started taking the top manifold off but had to stop because it was so hot today. 100 all day and no shade sadly.
