Even with my empty coolant overflow reservoir, my car went 31,000 flawless miles in my ownership and beat it pretty good. I never worried about every little thing. I maintained it very well and kept my eye on things. If I saw something, I addressed it as I saw fit and kept an eye on it.

I do think you're being paranoid a touch but that's fine. We're just giving you suggestions that won't waste your time. If there truly is a problem, trying the fill and drive method isn't going to make the car implode.

Plus they will likely void your warranty because you didn't properly check your fluids and let the reservoir run dry.

Ya...I just want this car to run well and consistent lol I"m very content with the car and dont' want any surprises. As for the warranty...you're not funny lol

And I appreciate the help guys.

Throw at what front end? Your front end? Ok, I'll be there in 20 minutes.

Could have farted out a small trapped air pocket in the block. I know Ford 7.3 engines are well known for having an air pocket at the back of the block that causes uneven cooling and rapid OD deterioration of the #7 hole. You may have just farted some air out and made room for more water to drop in.

Monitor it. I wouldn't over react at this point as long as the oil isn't milky and your not seeing puddles of sweet smelling fluid under your car.

Does your car emit any white smoke from the exhaust or do you notice any coolant smell in the exhaust? These could be indications that you are burning coolant.

I haven't seen anything.

Kayla followed me this morning and said my pipes were clean and there was no odd smells.

Anyway, did you check to see if you had a loose cap?
