I was driving and all of a sudden the truck staled and died. I tried to restart it and it wouldn't. After a few minutes I was able to restart it and drove not even half a mile and it staled again. I ended up pushing it home and got it to restart then every time I got it started and shifted into gear it would die before I even took my foot of the break. Then I finally noticed she was leaking coolaint every where but could not find a leak. I refilled the radiator with water and looked for a leak and did not find one. This morning I noticed it had leaked all the water out again. Any ideas on what might be happening?

Hi there,

You will have to get the cooling system pressure tested to help locate the leak. This leak my be affecting the ignition and causing a short making it hard to start.
