<The mechanic at the independent garage I go to for servicing found it

temperature indications.>
Yeah, that's what started happening to me! I asked the dealership where I
bought the truck, and told them my check gauges light kept coming on, and
the temp gauge was pegged. They checked the reservoir, and told me it was
empty and once I filled it, the problem would go away. I filled it, but
checked it once a week after that. That's when I noticed the reservoir was
emptying like a man's balder after drinking a twelve pack. That is why I
decided to get some feedback from you fine folks.
All I know, is, I want it fixed, but not at my expense. I mentioned the
burnt anti freeze smell to the dealer when I bought it, but they said it
was nothing. I also mentioned it every time I took the truck in, but got
the same response. So, they're picking up the tab if it is something that
is costly.
Thanks again.
