02 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7 engine had coolant mixed with the oil so definite cause is the customer blew the head gaskets cause they didn't put the radiator cap on right causing the engine to overheat quickly since they were pulling a trailer ... Towed the vehicle to the property and tore the engine apart down to the block... Took the heads to get machined and resurfaced and dye checked for cracks ... Set the heads and torqued it all down to specs then set the timing .. Resealed the whole front and top of engine with all new gaskets with the gasket kits .. Replaced the radiator and thermostat with a lower temperature thermostat to open up earlier and keep the engine temp lower than 210° .. Engine is running excellent and no longer overheating with coolant mixing with the oil !!!
