heater hose pipe..
Discovered I have a cracked heater hose pipe that goes to the back of the intake manifold.... antifreeze ran out pretty quick today with the temp outside of 105.. looks like I may have to remove the intake to replace this pipe... If so I will change all the hoses and pipes.

Might check and make sure that the hose is definitely cracked and leaking. Asking what engine to make sure your not looking at a 4.2 with a cracked lower intake manifold. Fairly common on 4.2's where a steel elbow is pressed into the cast aluminum block.

Definitely found problem... 1/8" hole in tube that tee's off to heat the pcv ... big lesson learned here... flush your radiator!! I've took care of the rest of my fluids but neglected my coolant... uhhggg big mistake
