I did, and it holds 13lbs. No leaks except in the old radiator. Before the leak happened I was holding the same amount of coolant for over 3 months.

I'm havin the same problem with my 01 5.2. The water pump pulley bearing went out...then took out the water pump and it just puked out coolent everywhere. I put on the new water pump and new top hose, bottom hose seemed good. I've checked many of times and the water pump is dry where it mounts. But I'm gettin coolent dripping down from the top of the bottom hose...then it runs down that and gets all over the steering bars. I even put on the screw type raditator clamp on the top of that hose and torqued it done and its still leaking somehwere. I still can't firgure out where its comming from. Oh and it leaks even more when the heat is on. Ughh it's driving me crazy!

Check the bypass hose on water pump as well. It is right there, cleverly covered up....but is prone to leaking after time.
