No they let it idle for about 45 minutes then ran it around town and down the interstate, that was my understanding.

Poloraco, I agree, it seemed that everything pointed to a cracked head or blow head gasket, but they replaced the lower radiator hose and thermostat, truck ran fine. They said that the lower radiator hose had a cut in it, maybe it was sucking shut, I dunno. I never would have thought it was that easy of a fix or I would have done it myself. Again, like always, you guys have been awesome, hopefully somebody will ask a question about cows, because that is the only thing I really know anythign about it! Appreciate it guys, you are a big help!

That hose is supposed to have a spring in it. Did they replace the cap too?

Yes replaced the cap and replaced the lower radiator hose with a high dollar one from Chrysler, its twice as stiff as the one that came off. Apperently the one that came off was damaged or not the correct one.
