Coolant leak

Thanks Sean, I do have a google account but I don't use it much. I have a Cannon Rebel T3 camera and the software that came with it includes a converter/editor I was going to learn something about. If I remember right, there are many options for the format of the edited video. MKV format is new to me, but I'll give it a shot. So if I'm in my Google account there is an option somewhere to upload to Youtube? That's cool.
I bought a new desktop computer several months ago with windows 8pro. It pretty much demanded I have a google account to get in it. Set up an account and haven't signed back in to google since. I've read some about how nosey Google is so I just elected to ignore it. Heck, I may still be signed in . I do 90% of my computing on iPad anyway.

Go to Youtube and use the account to log in.
It may ask you if you want to link or not.
I don't recall that part. When you upload it
will give you options on how to publish the
video. Like Private, Unlisted or Public. If I
understand it you can make it private and
so long as the person has the link they can
view. I used to list mine that way and lately
have converted them all to public.
On the codex to use if you use a MPG or AVI
that will work the MKV has some better compression
and seems to get the audio synced better. (Mac thing)
I think with Win8 your going to find it less of a pain.
See the Upload box in the upper right corner and the person shape.
The person shape is the login button. I think it will ask you to if you try Upload.
In the center see the red arrow that is the upload button along with the
publishing status.
I have not used the Youtube editing tools but they are in the panel to
the right of the arrow. They might make things easier then my way
of doing all the conversion work locally on the Mac. I should try the tools
some time to see what they can do.
Here is a link to HandBrake HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder Nice tool for doing
a lot of the odd tasks when it comes to videos.
I think with your camera you can also do HD? The upload might take longer
but the outcome will look much better when opened to full screen.

Well, I took a video but 12hr shifts are keeping me from fooling with it so here's a few pics and an update. Tuesday I got a cooling system pressure tester from O'Rileys. For those who may need one, it was $160 for the kit and an additional $40 for the extra adapters needed for a 6.0 powered truck. Basically you buy it and bring it back in 48hours and get a refund. Guy at the counter said he could be liberal on the return policy but I drove home, let the truck cool a couple of hours and tested it. Took the kit back the same day.
Just hook the thing up and get to pumpin. (And cramping, it takes a little while to make much pressure)
Somewhere before 7psi I saw coolant slobbering up into the air! Yup, it's the seam on the plastic top tank. Actually, looking real close with a light it appears to be cracked. Tried to crimp it a bit with some ViceGrips and it didn't help.
Went to the BDP site got ready to check out with their all metal replacement rad for $350 and found shipping was going to be $150 . Checking for other options now. If I'm going in for that much I can add a little to it and get something better (maybe). Hope to have time to shop more Sunday. XDP has the polished two core Mishi for $680...
Truck is running fine and loosing less than half a quart on my daily commute with the cap cracked open a little. I know it needs to be fixed soon but I'm not feeling a lot of pressure to fix it immediately.

Well at least you KNOW where the problem is
now. It's the doing something part that sucks.
Shipping can really be a killer. I have seen some
fantastic deals and then add the shipping and Pppppp.
BTW I got something here for you. It's done and all
I need to do is box it up and ship it out.

I think this is the same rad https://shop.performanceradiator.com...roduct_id=5515 free shipping and less money. The fittings may need to be changed for 06, worth looking into. If mine goes I will probably go back with ford.

You can get the same radiator bullet proof sells here for less money. https://www.performanceradiator.com/
BPD states they do not make the rad.
Mishimoto has run some deals on ebay too.
If I had to replace mine today I would go back with Ford, it has performed well for over 10 years and 170,000 miles.

Got a job for a slightly handicapped mechanic that has an A&P on top
all the other mechanical skills. I just happen to need to slow down
sometimes or take meds for some pain.
But I am a hard worker and a smart worker. In other words
Work Smart and not Hard. But Hard when you have to.
I would love to give up the late-night TV and other crap.
Swing-shift and graveyard-shifts are my best.
