heads up for the water bypass hose. it's a bitch to find... behind the
water pump... but if you can't find anything wrong with the hoses, and can
see coolant leaking from under the truck, check it out. its ofter
misdiagnosed as a bad water pump (happened to me, and cost me a $65
estimate).

Thanks for all your help guys. I'm going to start working on this here in
about 10 minutes. As for checking the hoses. Do I just need to check the 2
hoses going to and from the engine and radiator and the 2 heater hoses? Is
there another hose I should be checking?
Again thanks for all your help guys. I will let you know how it goes.
