Coolant Problem
I started my truck with the car starter and walked out of my house and noticed a puddle under it. The puddle was coolant, its weaping out of all the hose connections. I checked all the connections (screw type clamp) all of them were tight. I looked and happened to see a little bit of coolant on the top on the termostat houseing. I shut off the truck an poped the radaitor cap and the coolant was cold. Truck ran for about 10mins in outside temp of 15. I took it for a ride and noticed the coolant temp would only go up to 184. What should I do now?
The water pump and thermostat where replaced this past spring.All the hoses are in good shape. Should I replace the radiator cap and see if thats the problem?
