    Thanks guys! I was a little worried about that oil dipstick.

    Coolant hose is now fixed. Only took a little less than a gallon of 50/50, so I must have popped that hose just as I pulled back in the yard, or as I was coming up the road... (gravel drive, would be easy not to see the coolant in that). Truck is running great, and I see no other leaks. No white smoke, and never overheated that i saw, so I think I'm probably fine. I do have a test kit for blown head gaskets - I might just break that out and test it for the heck of it...

    I'm curious to see what my oil consumption is going to be given that so many seem to have had significant problems with that... I'll watch it carefully. The engine and bay are surprisingly clean and well kept, so either they did a GREAT detailing job (seems less likely) or the PO was pretty meticulous about maintenance.

    Oh and CL has another for sale in Hilo (On the Big Island)
    I am sorely tempted...
    Oh what the hell - Two has to be better than one... maybe the GF wants to drive one!
