I feel so stupid!
I got in my truck yesterday morning and noticed the smell of anti freeze, bummer. And since I had replaced my waterpump last week I figured I had a leak somewhere, a reasonable deduction. So I start looking around and I can't find a leak anywhere, crawling underneath over the top, I can sure smell it, it's got to be here somewhere 
. Hoses, clamps, heatercore, nothing is leaking and nothing is standing out. So I'm standing in front of my truck, hood open taking a breather when I put my hands in my sweater pocket, what's this piece of paper? It's my reciept for the water pump. Oh for crying out loud this is the same sweater I had on when I changed the pump, crawled around under the truck into some of the spilt anti freeze, DOHH!!

Painted it Ford blue and did the total coolant change out, went with the Final charge anti freeze from wally world and did the sway bar end links while I was at it. Took about five hours for everything.

Good stuff. Maintaining our trucks will make you crazy sometimes. It's a good thing that it's a labor of love most times.

You ought to try putting a couple of eggs in your chore coat and forgetting they are there then moving a bale of hay or two then remembering what you done after reaching into your pocket to get out your wool hat and it has basically beome a omlet. Been there a couple of times Randy
