    What motor does your truck have? How many miles?... I'd do a pressure test on the system then check it from there. I'm assuming nothing is leaking onto the ground?

    Also, open the oil fill when the truck engine is running hot and watch for steam.

    How much coolant are you losing?

    How much coolant are you losing in how much time? You might have a leak directly over your exhaust, or an internal block leak.
