Why is oil going into my radiator ford 4.0l?
Why is oil going into my radiator ford 4.0l? - 1
A blown head or timing cover gasket can cause it. Both oil and water present there and a bad gasket can cause it to mix. It also could be trans fluid rather than oil. The bottom portion of the radiator is a transmission heat exchanger. If it fails transmission fluid can mix with the coolant.
That may be ATF leaking from the cooler that is mounted inside the radiator. Get it diagnosed immediately! That can ruin the transmission fast. If you need to replace the radiator I'd get the ATF and tranny filter replace right away too.

- Help truck isn't going into gear and when I let the clutch out it does? I have a 2001 standard Ford ranger. I barely had a new clutch put in last year. But anyway I was going down highway in 5th gear and as I was going to put it in neutral it made a loud popping noise and then died. So I went to the side of the road and tried starting it, nothing. It starts up fine but the minute I let off the clutch it dies and when I try to shift it into 1 3 or 5 it feels like some thing is blocking it it'll act like it goes into 2 an 3 but it doesn't engage.
- 1997 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 won't shift into drive after being driven. Takes longer than should to shift into drive when first started? It will go in reverse fine. First thing in the morning when I leave for work, it will shift into drive on it's own, but takes a bit longer than it should. After getting it warm, won't shift into drive at all. I can shift down to 1st or 2nd, then back into drive and it will "pop up" into drive within a second or 2. I also have a ODB2 error P1744 (Torque Converter circuit).
