How rare is this

Hey guys,,, I've got a first for me. I have an 05 in. The gasket melted in the oil cooler housing surrounding the coolant input from the block to the oil cooler cover. When we pulled the oil cooler the reservoir was completely full of straight coolant(there was oil but mostly coolant). When we pulled the hpop, the feed passage was also full of straight coolant. So we fixed it all and put it back together and it has a long crank. ICP has been bleeding to zero. I retested (air thru IPR) and its gurgling from the oil filter housing. Coolant took the late model pump out???? I know it wasn't ran with the coolant for very long,, because it hasn't turned to milkshake. Thoughts???

Hindsight is always better,,, I should've submerged the pump in oil and spun the gear to get it coated with oil huh??? I dropped the ball on that. I did that before when there was metal in the oil on a different truck.

Update,,, the pump is fine and the truck is back in service. So I still haven't seen a late model pump go bad. I actually got a bonus yesterday and got an extra pump on a salvage engine I bought.

I've actually proven that to not be the case on all pumps. I have had both early and late model pumps gurgle through the oil filter stand pipe and they are in service as we speak.
