Hey guys, I don't post much here, but I'd greatly appreciate a little advice. I hope I posted this question in the correct subforum.
I have a 1997 Ranger CrewCab 4x4 with the 4.0L V6 and an automatic trans. My problem is that I every time I open my hood, my coolant overflow bottle is bone dry. I can't find any leaks in the hoses, and there's no puddle of coolant under the truck after I park. I just changed the oil not long ago, and it didn't look like a milkshake, and I don't have any white smoke out of the exhaust so as far as I know there's no head gasket problems. Operating temperature is always totally normal. I am dumbfounded as to where all this coolant could be going. It seems to disappear into thin air. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
