The time has come for motor work. Leaking large quantities of oil into my coolant. On a 400 mile drive I lost 20-30 ounces of oil. The coolant was very oily and sludgy at the cap, so it must be finding its way in there. I was also down equally as much coolant. I suspect it's burning that.
The truck is so down on power it can't hold 70 in OD on level ground.
Most likely head gasket. I'm gonna pull the heads and check. If cylinder walls look clean I'll reinstall a fresh set of gt40 heads with headers. If bottom end looks bad... Long block it is.
