    :pccoffee: Good Morning SA! A cool 55* to start the day, and only 0.08" of promised rain over Sunday and yesterday. Not enough at all. At some point this week, I will mow - lawn said stop about a week ago - might be the last one of the season.

    Back to the cooling system in the Taco again. After the burp and a new cap seemed to take care of buttoning it up, the temperature started fluctuating wildly on short errands (never in the drive, of course). I was no longer losing coolant overnight, and the level is exactly where it was on the reservoir. And it smelled like coolant when shut off. Yesterday, I found what seems to be a pin hole in the bottom hose, spraying the alternator. So, today, off they come. I know that's not causing the fluctuation, but a leak still has to be fixed. Let's see; new thermostat, new fan clutch, new cap, and new pump. So, what is it? Hmm....

    That pin hole can allow air into the system, which in turn, can cause fluctuation...

    Well.... that pinhole spewed more than I thought.
    Old hose was sponge rubber, so I got the top and bottom replaced. Filled and burped for a long time. Only got a chance to go around the block. Film at eleven!

    :pccoffee: Good Morning SA! Whoa - a 41* overnight. I had reprogrammed the thermostat app so wife would be warmer on wake up time, and then found the tech never switched it back to "automatic" - was still on "cool". :smack: Going to see further about what's up with truck and it's cooling system. Or mow. Or something.

    Could it be? After tracing the (new) constant drips of the back of the skid, to the bottom of the pan, to the front, I took off the shroud and fan. Ran it so I could watch the front. Dripping off the hose from top of the intake to the Stat housing.

    [​IMG]

    Put a rag on the hose, and the leak was either its clamp (never disturbed), or somewhere behind the thermostat housing, so off it comes (and more coolant).

    I'm looking at this clamp, and the oring above it.

    [​IMG]

    O-ring didn't look right. Ya think?

    [​IMG]

    Yeah, old one still in the bench box to be tossed. It will live on.

    Glad to see you found the culprit!
