I know this is a old message, But im in trouble here. Was plowing snow and started getting overheated. So looked at radiator and it was pushing a thick blue colored foam out. The radiator is full of this. Any ideas?
 
I assume you have the diesel, diesel fuel will react with some coolants. On a diesel truck forum, just yesterday a member asked the same question, he had green foam coming out of his truck radiator. No answer as to how the fuel got into the coolant system. Truck is a 90 Ford F350 7.3 IDIT engine, possibly from the turbo. I had a 1600 back in 74, never had any trouble with it, just ran the crap out of it.
 
Well this is so thick its over heating. Some one stated it might be the wrong antifreeze or mixed with another. Otherwise im afraid a block or head gasket. Sure hope not!
