I agree with all of you 100%…….

BUT! I found the fkkkkker.

Part of the issue has been that for some odd reason I cannot disengage the transmission so I can only run idle on the hose at home.

So we get to the lake today and all the above holds true.

I told my wife let’s just take it off the trailer and drive a bit to see if I can find the leak and keep an eye on engine temps (never rose above 180).

At any rate. I have noticed my heater pump hasn’t been running. My next step is to either replace it or look for why it’s not working.

So, after chasing ALL connections and ALL suggestions and possibilities, it’s the actual damn heater pump that’s leaking!

If I hadn’t driven at higher rpms today I wouldn’t have found it.

Now I’m just going to get a barb and bypass at the pump connection if I can’t get it running or a replacement ASAP.

I think this has been happening for a while since we haven’t used the heater in months and I’m REALLY low on coolant. After the bypass or fix I’m going to do continue to top off and will do a coolant exchange per protocol at end of season along with everything else.

I can’t thank y’all enough for helping me with this. If there a silver lining I hope some of you learned a few things from my troubles!

Thanks again!!
