Re: New owner with heater problem

What I would do - get your system flushed along with a new thermostat; then go from there on any repairs that might be needed.

Foaming is not a good thing - BUT, good thing is, is your truck is not overheating, which is good on an all aluminum engine. Could just be a lot of air in the system, a bad radiator & a bad thermostat.

Changing the thermostat on the earlier models is no biggy, just make sure to get an OEM one.

BTW - I wouldn't keep driving it - you're probably not anyway though.
