Yes, if you just want to avoid buying some coolant for a while. But I would be more concerned about where that coolant went. No sense spending money flushing and buying ELC, only to find you've got a bad head gasket or EGR cooler.

Once you set the level, watch it for a couple of months to make sure it is holding it. Consistently check it when cold before starting the truck.

Yes, thank you. The old COLD line is now the new HOT line. Or there abouts. I haven't found it to be particularly critical.

I was allready thinking about pulling my EGR valve. While i have it out I will be cleaning it. I checked my coolant this morning & it looks like it's just about at the minimun line. It's probably OK though. I may have been parked on a slight angle. Thanks everyone
