The stop leak did NOT make you water white and milky.It is caused by oil in the coolant system.Drain and flush the system COMPLETELY..Refill w/ a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water.Do not mix red and green antifreezes as this will cause the radiator to be filled w/ a mud like residue!
Side Note:If this is a class 8 truck your oil cooler has an internal leak and needs to be replaced...

most stop leak products say that you need to add them again when you flush and refill the system.
