I appreciate it guys. I went to AutoZone and bought a bypass kit for the heater core and that seems to have done the job for now at least until it gets below freezing like it does in Antarctica here in Alabama lol.

does the dash still need to come out to bypass the core?

It’s definitely coolant because I had almost none left in the radiator or the holding tank and both were full two days before.

2002 Ford Ranger 3.0L 113k On my way to Lowe’s this morning to buy a new fridge I noticed what looked like smoke coming from the passenger side of the truck from under the hood. I pulled over and instantly smelled the sweet aroma of coolant and noticed it was coming out of what looks like a...

Update again: Truck still starts and runs no issues.

Update X 2 @Dave9 Truck started and ran multiple times today again on wife’s spare still. I’m gonna call this one done and just have another key made. Thanks for everyone’s help!

Update: I took my wife’s spare key for my truck and have used it all day long with no issues. Truck has started perfectly fine and ran fine everytime. I’m hoping it was a simple matter of my key/chip being bad or on its way out.
