Probably a head gasket or a cracked head.

Most likely a leaking tranny cooler inside your radiator. You need to have this fixed ASAP if that's what it is cause it will destroy the tranny if the coolant gets in there. Coolant will also wipe out the bearings if it gets in the block.

I didn't even consider an automatic, since I stir my own. (up until the new Mega Cab yesterday)

No, it's just that the M/C only comes with the slush. Probably now, my left leg will atrophy and fall off from lack of exercise.

Maybe you can hook up a pedal and a spring under the4 dash just for old time fun and exercise.
