[QUOTE="Don Bailey, post: 1008982, member: 70124"] Thanks for the good thoughts/suggestions guys. The radiator was replaced within the past couple of years so its fairly new. Not sure about the thermostat. I still have the oil that I drained out of it when I changed it yesterday. Just in case there is a need. The installer chose AZ due to warranty issues with Jasper in the past. He uses AZ ALOT he said and has a great relationship with them. Guess we'll see how good of a relationship he has when he goes to warranty it out! Went with reman instead of rebuild most likely due to 265,000 miles on everything. $4,700 out the door for the reman. Still plan to pull that #5 plug and smell for gas to verify it being coolant or fuel. Been in a meeting all day so haven't had a chance to get to it yet. Can't take truck back to mechanic until Tuesday anyway. As for the condensation, it spits out a fair amount of that. The problem is on the mechanic and hopefully it doesn't turn into a warranty war between him and AZ. Am hoping the coolant is not due to overheating or them trying to find a way to blame it on that to get out of it. Time will tell. Will come back with update as soon as I find out. :banghead: [/QUOTE]
