yo out there,has anyone encountered a small coolant leak
pass side of engine in the front very small trickle.
any imput would be great thanks

 

Bad, Check the top rad hose about 6 inches from the pass side engine connection. Mine got a slit cut in it from the top pully and was just drip dripping out and then boom....all out. The clearance is pretty tight and when the hose gets older and stretched it can touch that pully on bumpy roads. ks

 

Check out the block heater and also there is 2 plug in the side of the block that have a hex head that thread in.
One of mine was leaking due to a mis-installed O ring.

 

Ditto on the block heater. Unplug it and tighten. Mine was leaking...it took 2 complete turns to get it tight again.

Any idea what size wrench to use to tighten the block heater? I don't think that I have any leaks, but as long as the weather seems to be getting warmer, I'd rather be safe than sorry. Went after the block heater today with a medium sized adjustable wrench opened all the way up to the biggest size, for a one inch bolt, and it still didn't fit.

That block heater isn't the easiest thing to get at in these trucks, but starting out with the right sized tool is probably a step in the right direction!
