Just an update,

I got the Barr's Stop Leak HDC, as Jor talked about. I predissolved the tablets, put into the radiator reservoir, filled with distilled water. Drove to new camp 60 miles, It appears that I lost zero coolant. I had filled it to just over the cold level on the overflow tank, it is still there. When I get more miles behind me (several thousand miles) I will be more confident. But for now, the radiator gods are smiling on me.

Thanks' again,
Larry

For the next time (hopefully never) why don't you just take it to a truck repair place and have it pressure tested. A leak will SHOOT fluid out.

Twig, will try that before this winter. I want to make sure it is stopped leaking, then get it flushed so I know what I have to work with.
