Losing coolant
I have replaced the radiator, hoses, water pump, and thermostat housing. I will fill it up with water then the next day its empty again I can't figure out what it is? Any thoughts?

I'm assuming you've looked hard for leaks, but check again with the engine running. Check your oil to see if it is milky. Also check the transmission fluid for it looking like pepto bismol.

On that note, after it has been running for a while, check it once you shut off as well. Mine would only leak once the engine had been shut off for about 30 seconds.

The oil is good. It doesn't run hot when it has water it runs strong. I just can't find the leak anywhere...
