Hi Again, 1st time LR with another question - My owner's manual instructs checking the coolant level weekly to insure it doesn't drop - but I've had the truck for 5 months and it's never dropped. So where/when would you notice such a radical difference? I drive most only weekends, 300-350 miles per weekend. Not much compared to many of you, but I thought I would have seen a dip. (?) | ||

Well you just lucked out  Its normal weekly procedure recommended for most cars/trucks to check liquid levels and tire pressure. Its not neccessity, but more of recomendation - thus you can find problem as soon as it hits, and not couple months later when you discovering traces of coolant in your fuel lines or oil lines | ||

Eric, I happened to loan my rangie to a friend of mine (who's driving habits I more or less approve). He gave it to his dad (who's driving habits I disapprove), and I just got it back after three weeks. Coolant was a gallon and a half low. Engine oil was a quart and a half low. Tire pressures: 36RF, 28LF, 18RR, 32LR (and he was complaining about the truck wandering around!) Now, I know that the only way to get coolant level so low is to run it low, and cook it a few times. Hope to god that the heads aren't warped... NEVER AGAIN. |
