Sounds like you have a liner filling up with Antifreeze. It can be caused by a few thing, cracked liner for one. When you shut the truck off does it steam or look like its still running?
When I cracked a liner thats what mine did. -
Coolant is entering a cylinder from a head gasket, cracked head or porous/cracked liner. Remove exhaust manifold from cyl heads. See which hole blows coolant when you crank engine over.

it's called hydrolock, you can bend a rod or seize up your motor if you let it go long enough. among other things.you got a cracked head or burnt headgasket or cracked liner. or, if the engines has alot of miles on it, it could be cavitation on a liner. where air bubbles in the antifreeze are popping when they contact the hot liner. everytime a bubble pops it knocks a little bit of metal off the liner wall until it's all the way through,letting antifreeze in on top of piston

I thought hydrolock was when my girl meets me in the pool at midnight? JK!

I agree, it's hydrolocking, one day you will bend a rod and then it's all over. I'd get to a shop asap. -
