    Well it would appear my radiator has gone kaput.

    Can't see leaking at hoses anywhere, but coolant is pissing out the bottom at the passenger side corner.

    Our Telephone system is set up in a gven county Seat in this case Searcy Arkansas. All towns around Serviced by Searcy such as Kensett, Garner etc. Those towns have smaller exchanges.

    Searcy connects to Little Rock Which itself connects to a higher level International or National Communication lines, some of the original hardware can still be seen in downtown LR in the towers that have not been dem'ed yet.

    Alot of it is digital and I think we are bypassing digital into the realm of what I would call ultraviolet.

    Make sure they don't try to sell you the upgraded one with all metal tanks. I had 3 changed last year because of that. Last one went back to OEM.
    That was on a Columbia. I don't know if they have them for a Cascadia.

    It's had a very slow leak for over a year, and I've tried everywhere to find it. Now I know. There were never any traces, it would just go down ever slightly between PMs (20K miles).

    I can't see it, but it's either near the gooseneck at the top, or just a few inches from the top behind the condenser.

    You can also get antifreeze to act like a leak by overfilling the reservoir. Then when the engine gets hot it blows out the overflow. Hopefully this is all that has happened. Otherwise you could have a bad cabin heater core, or hte heater hoses themselves. Start the truck, a bad heater core will smell of antifreeze and immediately steam the windows. (presuming you have the heat set for defog)

    Well since none of the hoses are leaking, and it's pissing out the bottom of the radiator, I'm going with my diagnoses.

    Gotta figure 682,000 miles. That's roughly 10,000,000 bone jarring hits.

    At 10,000,001 it finally split someplace.
