I am getting oil in my coolant on 5.4 f250. it looks like it could be bad gasket on intake under thermostat. any one had this problem?

My intake went bad under the thermostat but it leaked coolant and shorted out my coil. There was no way the oil and anti freeze could mix there. You might have 2 separate problems. If you're doing the intake I would go all the way and replace the head gaskets too.

Sounds like a head gasket to me. I can't think of any other place where oil and coolant passages run next to each other.Has the engine always had antifreeze in it? Or has someone run it for a time with just plain water?

Not had that problem myself, but when I was researching my coolant leak I went on several F-150 forums they spoke of oil leaking due to some common problem the 5.4 had (another being my coolant leak which was exactly as they described on the forum, also where I found out Amazon sells the manifold). Go to the internet and get on those ford truck forums, someone will have had the same problem and provide the fix info. Good luck!

You need to check your owner's manual....mine specifically said in it to use that coolant....hope this helps.

The oil cooler lines adapter is in the way to slide the billet sleeve on to the filter, what is the work around for that? The stator plug seems to be removed as well to line the sleeve up properly -- or am I attempting something incorrectly?

We found that you cannot just change the gasket you have to change the whole oil cooler. Dealer part $300

Is the coolant in the bottle going down every day? It sounds like the coolant is actually being drawn into the radiator but you are losing it somehow from there. Have you noticed any drips under the car? Is the any liquid residue around the tailpipe? If there are sweet-smelling drips, then you have a leak from the engine. If there is a similar residue in the tailpipe then the leak is most likely in the head and the coolant is being sucked into the exhaust. Let me know and we can recommend the appropriate sealer. Eric

Ned, I'm no mechanic, but I can tell you what happened to mine. Same problem, very hard to start and then to keep running. In a nutshell, I was using regular gasoline which in a few short months caused an air leak by eating into the seal on the carberator plate cover. You might want to check and see if you have any leakage on the bottom of the carb plate. I replaced the gasket and started using Alcohol free gasoline (which the literature says to use) and have had no futher problems. Starts easy, runs great, without the constant priming. BTW - I found that Dealers will not cover any gasoline areas under warranty.

I've had no problem with mine at all. This includes all points where the gas line and carburetor might leak. Certainly if you strain the gas line or damage the unit, there may be a problem. I always would suggest that the line is shut off and carburetor drained out by running to minimize any possible leaks and start up problems when the unit is put into storage. the units that were a problem were generally smaller than this one, although I still think 'operator error' may have been a significant part of the problem.

Mine has a separate transmission oil cooler so I didn't use the oil cooler tank in the bottom of this radiator but it works fine with no problems. I don't think it was as narrow as 3/4 inch though.

Since it has nothing to do with the emmisions system, I don't know why CARB would have any jurisdiction. It's the cooling system. The EGR cooler would be the only coolant related component that CARB would be interested in. Get the filter, save your oil cooler :)

I just installed this on a 2005 Nissan Titan. I made sure that I did my research as to how to bypass the factory TXMSN Oil Cooler, but once installed it has made the world of difference. I do not have a digital read out, but on my analog TXMSN temp gauge it never reaches about the halfway mark, before it would always read above. This is sitting in Hawaii traffic with high humidity. My TXMSN seems to run a bit cooler and also shifts more smoothly. Definitely worth the buy and the time to install. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thank You!

Did you put the fine film of oil on the lid? I originally missed that on my AA. I have only gotten a slight steam leak once or twice, but it seemed to stop when I got up to pressure. Sorry I can't help more.

Not having any problems. Is it new or used? If new, contact company for exchange. If used is it the gasket? Or is there a crack on the outer casing?

Perhaps my review is out there. Gasket included, but the head of the bolt broke off on 2nd oil change. Go to your dealer and pay for a genuine OEM drain plug with gasket included.

I removed the lower intake and did the lower intake gasket at the same time, I bought a Felpro lower intake kit. The kit contained all the seals and o rings for the fuel injector assembly and a new metal retaining clip for the main block of the fuel injector. The two parts of the manifold I cleaned with throttle body cleaner. The deposits under the throttle blade I carefully scraped off with a knife and used throttle body cleaner. Any o rings that had to slide into position I lubricated with a pure silicone, but you could use liquid soap, it's just to make it slippery. I also recommend changing the heater hose connector on the lower intake gasket while it's apart. Also this is the exact kit I ordered.

Hi, I just saw this. I've had some in the frig for about 6 months and I haven't noticed any change. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but all oil oxides.

Probably just wear and tear on part u have originally and replacement seemed of good quality. Been over a yr and no issues. Very easy to change out. Just make sure u have dealership antifreeze since it is a special blend that u can not mix with store type. Change tank as quick as possible though.

I had to return it for the sane reason. Check the oil level though. Aomeone told me that may be the reason.
