Wouldn't water have higher pressure than oil because it's denser?

That has to be because you are measuring gulps of coolant and then gulps of oil.

Likely just the float sensor in the expansion tank gunked up. I recently had to pull the tank on the 2000 and clean it out for the same issue.

@MikeGyver I believe that if I had oil/water contamination it would be lower oil pressure, also I just changed the oil and it looked fine to me. Later that night and this morning I turned the truck on and no low coolant light, last time I filled it up after my leak I had just filled it up to the minimum so it would turn off don't ask me why but that's how I did it lol. I did add some water this morning though and it does not seem to be running hot.

I drove 10 miles with it at 80-100 PSI so I am willing to be it is a faulty sensor. I would think that bad things would have happened to me already.


@RedXray Hahaha no actually it was another friend of mine who was a couple years older. We all played soccer together.
Saying that though I had no problem getting beer from the gas station.

Minimum age was 18 when I was young, hard liquor 21.

At 16 I had the beginnings of a mustache so my friends always pestered me to be the go to guy but never got carded. As I got older I could buy from the liquor store but super nervous because the ABC stores were/are run by North Carolina state employees that are trained to detain underage buyers.

I was in Myrtle Beach, SC on my birthday when I turned 21. Got carded at some mom & pop convenience store that also sells liquor. With a big grin I whipped out my ID "It's my 21st today" . Checking my license the old woman smiled "happy birthday this pints on the house!"

you can do the 6L80 and keep it working like factory. Pulling the stalk down to D3,2 or 1 won't shift the trans, but will activate the different "modes"

Like manual shift (TUTD), "Sport" and 1st lock-out. But If I recall what Jim said, you can identify what positions activate what modes
