Is this Ok!!!!!!!!!!

This morning when I got home I opened the hood to check everything out and noticed that my resivore for my antifreeze was well below the low mark! The truck was still runing when I did this and I just drove about 15 mile mostly highway , and I live in mesa, az! I guess I never noticed it before, or every time I looked the truck had been sitting for awhile and it was ok! I just installed a 203 thermostate in! Thank you!!!!!!!

I'd let it sit and watch for moisture hitting the ground. When you installed the new stat, did you replace the stat housing as well? A lot of times those housings bend very easily and don't re-seal well when re-installing, and you could potentially be losing fluid from that location.

They may have not topped the system off completely once the job was finished. I'd just top it off and watch it closely.
