So, I added fluid to the radiator (It was very low). Stared the truck. let the fluid flow and added as needed. I let it run for a 40 minutes and no problem. Temp gauge would rise a little and then drop. I think I'm okay with all that, but will flush the whole system this weekend just in case. Now, here is the next issue. When I run the truck for a while and it if good a warmed up, I'll stop for a few minutes and when get back in, the truck is a bear to start.
So, what causes hard starting when truck is warm/hot? Having a blast working on it! Thanks for everyone help!

Fuel gushed out, but once I got the line higher than the level in the tank it was fine (I only had a couple gallons in it). Had the truck out today. Runs great BUT! I Heard a noise . . . turns out it was over heating. I was just a couple blocks from home. I'm letting it cool down in the drivway and will check the coolant. The gauge stayed below 200 degrees, but I know better than to trust it. Anything I should be aware of as I check the radiator and coolant? ________________________________ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!
