External fron coolant leak. Radiator , Pump or...?
Early 04 but 06 motor, Coolant filter, BPD EGR cooler, Head studs
I did use the search tool, overloaded with EGR cooler leaks and head gasket failure in the results.
Noticed ECT Spiking 217 (EOT 187)as went to post office,10 min run time from a cold start. Checked Degas a bit low, did my business and went home. Got home ECT 223 EOT(221) zero coolant in Degas and notice this mess. as well as puddling up under radiator.
I left the truck running and added some water to the degas hoping I could spot the leak, no love.
On our trucks do we have a weep hole for the water pump? I didn't notice any water or stains around it or the pulley.
Nothing around the hoses either... yet.
Once it cools Im going to pull the fan shroud and look for a possible hole in radiator. Are there any other suspect areas?

If I had the time to wait for it to come in I would, but I NEED not want my truck tomorrow morn.
Found a Radiator shop had one (with palstic ends) in stock for 262. SO i rushed down there on mtn bike to get it and had my Fiance pick me after work.
its installed now and all is good.

It was hot and humid I haven't been riding in a couple of years and I definitely felt it! I made a nice puddle on the shop floor.
It was 4pm they closed at 5pm and they were a 40 min MTB ride away. Fiance was an hour away at work, had to do it to get there in time. I called her and to her to pick me up there on her way home. She said "are you sure your not going to die getting there that place is far" me "no, but I'm gonna try.. see ya there gotta go"
