Ok, I have a 94 ranger with a 4.0L V6. yesterday i was driving it home and i looked over at the temp gauge and it was pegged. I pulled over and checked the radiator and it was very low. Anyway the truck was blowing steam out of the exhaust which leads to believe it has a blown head gasket. The oil looks clean but its so new i cant really tell. The antifreeze in the radiator is brown as baby sh*t. I dont know wtf to do. I started it up today and it wasnt blowing steam so I put some alumaseal in the radiator (i swear that stuff sealed up a head gasket on a maza truck i had). It doesent matter how much water i put in it, it seems like it never fills up. it misses like hell too. I hope it doesnt have a cracked block or head(s). That temp. gauge was pegged. So what do you guys have to say about this? any ideas or suggestions?

Sounds like the HG to me. Lets hope its not the block or heads

She's blown, especially if it's missing bad which usually indicates it's blown between cylinders.

Careful how much water you put in it or you will fill the crank case with water it the headgasket is blown.
Check it now if it never seamed to fill up.
You may have a gallon in there already.
If you do drain it before it has time to do damage.

C/Note

seen that babby poo before ...it thick and nasty..you blew a head gasket ,,but get heads check,,maybe wrapped or possible cracked..also you are going to havr to clean out your coolant system ,,heatercore etc...
