Christmas coolant issues

[Littleislander]

Howdy everyone and Merry Christmas! Today I was driving my 2008 6.4 and I noticed it wasn't blowing any warm air, engine was warmed up but still blowing cold air. Roughly 15 minutes later I noticed that the temp was a few degrees higher than normal on my Spartan. I have been away with the Navy for the last while and just came home on leave so the truck hadn't been driven in 4 weeks so I assumed it could just be a stuck thermostat. It began to overheat when I left it to idle for a few minutes when I was grabbing some coffee for myself and my passenger. Other than that it was only running slightly warmer than normal at highway speeds. When I got home I popped the hood to look at things and my overflow tank was completely dry. It was full 5 days ago when I got home and I haven't really driven it much before the issues arose.

How does the CCV cap look? Hopefully not milky

Haven't checked that yet. I have a warranty for another 40k. I'm tight with my local Ford so they may cover my gaskets. Probably have to do some fancy talking/begging. If it is the gaskets is there a place where I can get the ARP studs and OEM gaskets without having to buy the factory headbolts with the OEM gaskets?

Filled it back up with coolant, noticed it was pouring out the rad. Looks like I have a dandy cracked rad. Yay.
