98 Ranger 4.0L - 140k
Alright the other day I noticed a slight bit of coolant in my oil, I pulled the drain plug out of curiosity and just the bottom 1 oz or so was milky. I was reading though the forums and because I am not experiencing any other major symptoms I was hoping that tightening the lower intake would help me out. Has any one done this? How hard is it to do? I’m hoping to do it this week some time.
Other then that I’m not sure what it could be, other then the normal suspects; head gasket cracked heads, ect. I mean the truck has never been over heated, or even beat on for that matter. I’m not loosing coolant, the exhaust doesn’t smell sweet or fog at all. She’s still got all the power it had years ago.
I just don’t know what else it could be…
