did you check underneath the bed of the truck, perhaps above the spare tire?

If your heater core is leaking, your coolant will be low, and the leak will be antifreeze, not water.
The drain hose should be at the firewall,or lower just in front of where the passengers feet go.

The P1775 means "Transmission System MIL Fault", I think you have known where is the problem. Good luck!_______________-Benz AK500

YOU MAY WANT TO CHECK THESE FIRST
make sure your radiator is clear and not blocked in any of the fins and openings and make sure your fan is working

u may need to flush the cooling system-could be blockage somewhere
bleed valve should be on bottom of radiator on right side looking at front of truck
if u still can't find it just remove the bottom hose on radiator-make sure engine is not hot before doing this
u can buy flush kit at any auto store
after flushing-put water if-not antifreeze
run for 15 to 25 minutes and see if it gets hot
if not-drain and put antifreeze in
if it still gets hot you may have gasket problems allowing fluids to leak out or hot gases from exhaust to get into you're cooling system
check tail pipe for steam

good luck

follow the upper radiator hose to the engine, drain about 1/2 gallon of coolant and then pull upper hose off at the engine, look inside the metal large nipple, that is the thermostat.

A lose connection or the blower motor is going.

Vehicles equipped with NGC engine control modules use an NVLD pump and system. Vehicles equipped with JTEC engine control modules use a leak detection pump. Refer to Leak Detection Pump (LDP) for additional information.
The Natural Vacuum Leak Detection (NVLD) system is the next generation evaporative leak detection system that will first be used on vehicles equipped with the Next Generation Controller (NGC). This new system replaces the leak detection pump as the method of evaporative system leak detection. This is to detect a leak equivalent to a 0.020 (0.5 mm) hole. This system has the capability to detect holes of this size very dependably.


Removal & Installation

1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Remove left-rear tire.
3. Remove plastic shield (4) in front of left-rear tire. Access to both the EVAP canister (1) and NVLD pump (6) is from the area in front of the removed tire.
4. Disconnect electrical connector at NVLD pump.
5. Remove vapor line at NVLD pump. Pry outward on tab (3) and rotate pump (6) clockwise about 70 for removal.
6. Remove NVLD pump O-ring (5) from EVAP canister (1).
   

To Install:

1. Install new NVLD pump O-ring (5) to EVAP canister (1).
2. Position NVLD pump (6) into EVAP canister (1).
3. Rotate pump (6) until tab aligns with notch in EVAP canister (1).
4. Carefully install vapor/vacuum lines to NVLD pump.
   WARNING The vapor/vacuum lines and hoses must be firmly connected. Check the vapor/vacuum lines at the NVLD pump, filter and EVAP canister purge solenoid for damage or leaks. If a leak is present, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) may be set.
   
5. Connect electrical connector to pump.
6. Install plastic shield in front of left-rear tire.
7. Install left-rear tire.

Have a nice day (remember rated this help).

The thermostat is located low on the front of the engine, to the left of the cranckshaft balancer below idler pulley and tensioner. Drain the cooling system, remove radiator hose from thermostat housing, remove two bolts, tap off housing cover and it should be beneath it. Hope this helps

HelloThe engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

most of the time its the blower resistor ck. for 12volts and ground to the blower
