You'll probably loose a small amount.Take highest hoseclamp off first, and have a small bucket ready, when you get the hose off.

Ok update, total fail lol. As I was squeezing the clamps on the right side hose i had a thought. -7 to 18 degrees for the past month I should probably check the hose first. Good thing I did it was clogged with ice and wont flow at all let alone the little bit i was expecting. Unless i can figure out a different place to do this or if we get a heat wave up here sometime soon not likely, looks like a mechanic may get some work. Thanks very much for all your help guys I'm sure ill be posting more in the coming weeks. Thanks again.

Well so almost a month later the weather has been warmer and my hose is unfroze. I just flushed the core it was simple. But now I think something is really F'ed up. So after I flushed the core I washed off the engine with water just to get the excess coolant I spilt off. Didnt think much of it. I started the truck let it run for a bit keeping the RPM's between 1500-2500 (when it idles it doesnt idle well and feels like its gonna stall but thats another day lol.) After about 3-4 min of keeping it slightly rev'ed i let it drop for a sec and it ran really rough, I rev'ed it back up and now theres a poping from my exhaust. Sounds almost like a misfire i suppose, I decided to drive down the streeet and back to my house see if it does it while driving. Alas nada I put it in reverse gave it some pedal and it didnt move. It felt like it wanted to but just couldnt get enough *** behind it. Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.
