Similar problem on my Ranger. I am letting it go. I'll watch the coolant and hope the POS catches fire for insurance.

check your heater core I had the prob for a while it was coming out from over the right wheel well, or right behind it, the heater cores in gen1 and gen 2's are hella easy to take out, and very cheap.

Thanks for the suggestion. My coolant level seems to be staying right where it is now. No more pee pee puddles under my truck :D

Actually, while I was in there I saw that one of the hoses way back behind the engine (maybe a heater hose?) had duct tape wrapped around it :icon_confused: Yeah, that one might have to be replaced at some point.
