[QUOTE="zaffo oxnard, post: 966226, member: 53598"] I have been smelling the hot coolant maple syrup smell for a while outside the truck and could never find a drip on the ground or anything obvious under the hood. No noticable loss of coolant, so I must have a pinhole or weeping connection someplace. All the hose calmps were retorqued. No help. I went ahead and drained a gallon of coolant and put in two tubes of Aluma Seal. This has stopped the smell, but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Original water pump/radiator/heater core. 2001 w/ 91,000 miles. Anyone else had similar? What part died first on you? thanks tony [/QUOTE]
