Ok I keep it to the max line in the overflow jug and never have to add any just try to change once a year. How much am I looking at to change the sending unit? My truck has almost 190,000 miles on it. I have never had to do anything to it but change the front right hub/bearing assembly. I keep it serviced as it should be. I bought it new. Thanks for the response!!
Changing the sending unit should be a "piece of cake" for you. It's 30 degrees outside now, so tomorrow afternoon I'll locate the sending unit (ya, I'm a sissy) that is unless someone else here knows right where it's at. Do you have the V-6?
As for coolant level; checking the overflow reservoir is not enough. You have to know what's in the radiator. So check radiator level with cold engine.

I have the 5.3L V8. As for the overflow jug I believe that's the only place to fill the radiator on my truck. I think the radiator has no cap but will double check that. Thanks for the help and info.
