I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, and I have replaced everything you can think of from the coolant system. I have had to change the fan, thermostat, water pump, radiator, radiator tank, etc. My truck is still overheating; the problem is that it's leaking water, which I found out is leaking into the engine. I changed my oil and saw that it was chocolate color. I have no idea what could have caused it and I have not had the chance to fix it.

If any one knows how much it is going to take to fix this problem please let me know, and if you know what could have caused it too. Thanks in advance.

My truck has radiator replaced, thermostat, antifreeze, and the problem still, I can't understand why it gets overheated at high speed when the air is blowing to the engine compartment, then on the street the truck start cooling down.
