Well, this truck has been doing an awesome job keeping up with my mileage. Although I no longer use it for delivery, I have been taking it just about everywhere. 2000 miles in one month's time is a lot even for me. Anyhow, last night I noticed the temp gauge was actually reading >210 degrees, so when I finally made it home I started looking at the belt and for leaks. Nothing. When I opened the radiator cap, it's about 1/4 full. Now, the last time I checked the coolant level was a month ago before my first 500 mile trip. I figured that since no coolant appeared to be leaking after I changed the radiator, the leak was gone. Apparently not so. Where should I start looking? When I first purchased the truck, I could constantly smell coolant in the cab, and occassionally saw drips coming from the heater inside the cab. Is it probable that my heater core is totally shot? I dont get much if any heat from that thing, and need to have it replaced anyways. Is it a pain in the ass to do these heater cores when it has A/C? The instructions in the Chilton's make no sense what so ever, so I am considering having a garage do it. Wonder how much they'd charge.. Anything else I should look at next first?
