How much coolant should I add to my trucks cooling system? I live in a warm weather environment that rarely gets below freezing in the winter.

ALWAYS add a 50/50 mix of coolant/water to your vehicle regardless of where you live. Putting less of a mix in there can screw up your sensors in your engine as they are designed for this type of mix.
