Like others posted, I think you have a leak in your cooling system. Sport Tracs are know for cracked thermostat housings, although other components can leak.My concern is that you said you "Smelled coolant" but never described this in your post? If you smell coolant while in the truck, then you could have a cracked/leaking heater core..Parts are relatively cheap, but this can be a time consuming job that will cost a lot in labor charges because it requires removing the HVAC system from under the dash to get at the heater core.If you are handy with tools, you can do this yourself, but be prepared for a weekend long job.I have only done this on one vehicle and it took two of us the better part of 2 days to replace the AC Evaporator CoreIf you are not smelling coolant in the cabin, then it is probably a leak in the engine compartment and easier to get at to fix it....Rich
