Yes, a cooling system pressure check would be a GREAT idea.

Hey Cusser,

This is what I was thinking too, just to see how much water is getting in. then depending on what I find I will pull the whole thing apart and find the culprit.

I will be sure to let you know what I find, but nothing happening until the weekend when I can get back at it.

So I drained all the oil/water mix out what a mess! Left the oil drain plug out and poured some water into the rad, it came right out the oil drain just as fast as I put it in the rad.

I think I might just give up on trying to get this one going again, the truck is just not worth the $$$ anyone want a parts truck?
