Just curious as to what everyone else's coolant temp, oil temp and trans temps are reading on their 5.7 V8.
The reason I am asking is, yesterday I drive my Laramie to the store. When I pulled into the parking lot and got out I noticed a splashing sound. I walked around to the front of the truck and saw pink liquid splashing down from under the right side of the bumper. I popped the hood and noticed the coolant resevoir's cap was slightly ****ed off. I dipped my finger into the fluid that had spilled and it had a sweet smell to it and was slightly sticky... definitely coolant. I drive the truck home while monitoring all the temperatures. Nothing got close to the halfway point of any temp Gage. I took the truck to the dealer today and told them what happened. They did a seventeen point inspection and checked for leaks. Everything came back satisfactory. I guess maybe it was the reservoir cap being slightly off.... hopefully.
