Thanks to the very warm welcome and also I want to wish everybody a wonderful Christmas..I am still trying to figure out on how to use this forum. I tried to post some pics but only few were uploaded and most showed "error in uploading". I will try again after this busy holiday season so i can share it with you guys. By the way, this morning the weather was very mild (+4 degrees) so I had a chance to check my H1 in my UNHEATED garage( parked since 3rd week of O October). I noticed that my engine coolant was about 2-3inches below the cold fill line level in the surge tank. I remember i had it checked around September it was almost at the cold fill line.. Is this a normal drop since past weather temp was (-10 to -15) and i never fired the truck since i parked it..There is no sign of leak, no smell of coolant, and no warning of low coolant level in my instrument panel. Should I fill this up to the line? If so, does anyone knows which brand is an OEM or approved by the AM General? I found a brand in the internet which is the same brand used by BMW. Any ideas? Also, I am loosing about 1 psi per day especially when temp drops to minus 10 or below. I understand this can be normal but should I just inflate it with CTIS once in a while when needed.. I have a pair of 6 ton axle stand, is it a better idea to just lift the truck at least few cm from the ground to avoid flat spot and wheel damage? Any help will be greatly appreciated..Happy holidays

For photos post them to site (I use photobucket ) take the img link and post (copy and paste) this in your text and they post. Good thing is the photos stay on photobucket as an offsite backup.
