When the engine is turned off there's a loud hissing sound coming from under the hood. My coolant is also leaking I think its from behind the motor but it only leaks when the truck is accelerating. At a stand still their is no leak whatso ever. Please help!

Have you checked the heater core hoses to see if that is where the leak is coming from?

The hoses will go from the engine to the firewall where they attach to the heater core. They are aprox 1" in diameter. Let me know if you can find them.
