[AT] Ford F250 Diesel makes steam. UH - OH !!!

[Mike Sloane]

Some of the old IH 6.9L V-8 engines used in the Ford mid-80s diesel line 
were subject to pinhole leaks in the cylinder walls due to cavitation, 
permitting coolant to leak into the combustion chambers. Special 
anti-freeze was used to prevent the cavitation.

That may or may not be the cause of your problem.
