Default OT Low Coolant light came on today!

Well,
I let my truck (Babe) run at idle for 1 1/2 hours at operating temp 195
degrees and no leaks!!
I guess the old girl was just telling me she was a little thirsty ;-) Still,
I'd better keep my eye on her.
It might be time to replace all the hoses this spring. She might as well get
her first tune-up while I'm at it. 167,000 on the original spark plugs and
wires, Wow, who would have thought that back in the late 60's. Heck, most of
the cars were lucky to go that far back then; let alone the plugs, points,
condensers, rotors and caps!
She still gets 16.5 -17.2 MPG just like she did when she was new.
The auto industry really has come a long way in 40 years!
Now, if they could just make a profit :-(

No, mine's a '95 5.7L. Your symptoms sounded like mine though. Water
leaving the
reservoir and no observable leak.

Mine went bad with 114,000 on it.
