Brand new truck developed a cooling leak in the first few years. I have replaced the radiator, water pump, hoses along the years. I still have the leak. I was told its the timing cover and this is a known failure issue. Mechanic told me $600 to fix.
Truck had 185,000 miles and I have just lived with it having to put coolant in every few thousand miles.
