the fluctuation is prop because of low coolant. have you had the coolant tested for exhaust gasses?

moved your post to the appropriate spot. well it has to be leaking somewhere, park over a dry spot/clean area (if you cant find one put a piece of cardboard under the truck and let it idle to see if leaks any
