Woke up to a nice puddle of antifreeze under it. Did the pressure test and its leaking from the timing cover gasket. Looks like im going to replace the water pump, timing cover, and throw in a new timing set. This wouldn't bother me as much as it does now but it just HAD to happen once the truck was all together. I had the perfect opportunity to replace these when it was just an engine on a frame.:-arrgh:-arrgh:-arrgh

So lately driving around I would hear this creaking/popping sound. It wasnt consistant with accelarating/braking /turning or even going over bumps. Taking a look underneath while having someone shake the truck I was able to create teh sound again.
The trans crossmember was flexing on the drivers side - moving up and down along the frame rail. The bolt holding it was rotted off of the metal on the crossmember.
Ordered a new one which cost a pretty penny. Also decided to swap out the trans mount while im under there.
