Thanks fox,

Took the truck to the local coffee shop and when I got back it was leaking from the water pump.. I forgot to tighten the hose clamp that runs from the pump to the intake on a bbc… so as I do… I forgot to check the other clamps.

Went to a local car get together which is roughly 25min each way of highway travel.

More self inflicted issues… overflow hose clamp was of course loose…and the passenger side valve cover is weeping… will tighten it down tomorrow.

On the plus side it ran around 180-190 at highway speeds and sitting in traffic, plus it has 20psi of oil pressure at idle when hot.

Truck got a fair bit of attention and at least a few people were taken with it.
