UPDATE...
so far no Coolant leaks and she is bone dry.
I hope when I look out tomorrow morning the concrete she is parked on is dry!
Thanks for all the great feedback and suggestions.
Since I purchased her new in 1988 I've done a LOT of work to this truck...she has been very good to me. Even though I've done so many things over the past 30 years I just didn't want to remove the Baby Moose IP and all that related stuff to pull the front cover...my back is killing me!
Thanks again, Ray
(before it gets too cold, time for rear brakes and new drums)...but at least I can sit while doing that job!
