Up here in MN we had -20° last night so I decided I should warm up the old girl. Straight off had a completely dead battery, only two years old go figure, but I got it charged up ok with the little charger I got ... and well, first drive since the Sunday before Thanksgiving, so that's 4 weeks it's been sitting. I had the truck warming up 15 minutes before driving around, Took a drive and just around the block the temp gauge starts climbing up past 240. I just get in the garage and the gauge reads at 260, and the DIC displays coolant temp very hot. I get it shut off, pop the hood and check around. Slowly release some pressure in the coolant overflow tank and see it start to drip out the vent tube. Day didn't get much better after that, got the snowblower out shortly there after to clear out in front of the garage and it starts pouring gas out around the carb.

Been reading through your build here that past few days, some very nice work you've been doing. I'm sure I'll be doing a lot of the same upgrades to mine along the way. Funny, I've been contemplating swapping my '04 hood/grill for an '06. But, I have Engine/Drivetrain upgrades/maintenance to address before I spend any money on anything cosmetic.
