    What would be considered normal coolant usage?
    Thanks

    Not sure what your asking.
    I use peak fleet charge . It has the sca's formulated. Mix 50% distilled water.
    Your truck shouldn't use/leak any coolant.

    I’ve used about a quart in 10k miles. I use the same coolant. The truck has about 700k miles. Everything looks original

    You have a leak somewhere, hopefully not internal.

    Look closely at the back of the water pump on the right side. It can start to weep there.

    Some leaks only happen when cold. Check before you leave even if it is dark and you checked it yesterday afternoon.
