New Guy, Hello.. Also small hiccup w/ less than 1k miles. Anyone else?

Me, anytime I get a new vehicle especially something that I plan on going out and beating the shit out of I always go over it with a fine tooth comb looking for things that might be susceptible before I head out. Just a small insurance thing I do cause maybe I might see something that looks like it needs attention. I just kinda **** about it cause I know its just a assembly production vehicle that does have problems.

This shit just happened to me on my Gen2 with 7k miles. I pulled into my driveway to find all the damb coolant all over the floor. it's a stupid clamp that I don't think was attached correctly.

All over the floor? Do you mean driveway or inside the truck?

This is the best pics I could get. That fitting was "locked" open and was against the plastic part connected to the engine. I had to "unlock" it and it closed up to properly attach that hose.

No problem! It's an easy fix just pain in the ass to have to fix something on a new vehicle. Had to add a lot of coolant to put it back to min level

Just checked mine, fortunately it was solid, but this thread gives me an idea. Stuff like this issue only takes a minute to check, but can prevent serious issues if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Perhaps there should be a thread that rounds up and lists common issues & easy things to check? I don't check the forum too often, or I'd volunteer to create one myself...
