I bought this truck about 3 months ago and it started to leak coolant. Saw where the leak was comin from and it was my water pump and almost 2 weeks later it started to leak again. I checked an looked and ran the truck for an hour and it didn't leak and I thought that was weird. So I drove it for 2 days and it started to leak again but like runnin water and I can't figure out where it could be comin from...
Help would be very greatful.
Thanks

Do you know where the leak is coming from?

Check around the thermostat housing, a common leak on 3.9L, 5.2L, and 5.9L Magnum engines. Check the intake-to-front cover bypass hose as well.
