Found some cut hoses/coolant issue.
How's it going fellas.
I just threw about 3 gallons of coolant in my moms truck and that thing was empty this afternoon. There was a decent size puddle under the passenger side door, but I don't see any kind of hose that's wet. The only thing I see that's wet is right underneath a step bar. I can post picture in a bit, but I was looking around under the hood and I came across these 2 hoses that seem to be cut. Can somebody explain what these are for?

filling it up and running it doesn't produce a leak? losing that much in a day should give you some pretty plain clues...
check your oil make sure it's not ending up there.
the hoses you put up do appear to be heater hoses, so I dunno. what year and all is the truck?
:chug:

If the truck is a '93 (or close) 5.7, one of those hoses has a metal fitting on the end and uses a cheap plastic so-called "quick-connect" to attach it to the rear of the intake manifold. They're prone to failure. Royal pain in the **** to (a) get to, and (b) replace. Another reason I don't miss my '93 all that much.
