Your truck doesn't have an oil cooler,they didn't start putting them on the 5.7's till about 2017

Probably, unfortunately. Better gear heads than me need to chime in.

What does your oil look like? Is it milky?

Yes very milky like choc milk Nevver was this color before. Always green oil was changed around thanksgiving. Like I said the dipstick was pretty dry. So something bad must have happened

Sure sounds like a Head Gasket, but I am no mechanic.

Not sure what "green oil" means. By chance you haven't over heated it lately have you?

I’m sorry. What I’m saying is the antifreeze was always good in color. Now it’s all milky real bad In radiator and the resovoir tank also. All coolant is mixed with oil

Sounds like you overheated it,if so there might be a chance you warped a head.Find somebody who can pressure test the cooling system and see if you can hear or see any leaks .

Also wouldn't hurt to pull the plugs and check them over for abnormal looking colour on the plug end
