Finally starting to see some improvement! I think another 10 gallons of hyd fluid and I'm ready to take it for a test drive. I've used a quart of denatured alcohol in with my first 5 gallons of hyd fluid. I think this made a major impact as the fluid started to separate quick then!
So the fluid exchange has been like this.
Coolant/Water/ATF mix - Drain
Refill with 5 gallons of 15W40 - Drain

Refill with 5 gallons of Hyd Fluid and a quart of denatured alcohol - Drain (Ran truck for 2.5hrs with block heater plugged in as well) *still cloudy but improved vastly
Refill with 5 gallons of Hyd Fluid - Drain (Ran truck for 2hrs, plugged in as well) *getting more clear/amber in color, but still a little milkyness to it.
Fun, this is not.
