Pretty sure the cooling system was poorly maintained. Most people just drive and do nothing. I bought the truck used, noticed the engine compartment was a bit grimy so I made an offer that I was comfortable with and drove away with a smile on my face. Gonna get need winshield wiper arms because they worked loose and chewed up the aluminum.
today's job took just about three hours with a nice pace, started with degrease using orange citrus spray, drained radiator, took out shroud, fan and radiator. got rid of bug and brush debris. went to autozone and bought three new belts, scraped old silicone off. put on Blue gasket goop new gasket, new studs for fan. tensioned new belts, radiator and shroud back in, filled it up with antifreeze and turned it back on. No more leak.
Thanks everyone for the belt, pulley advice, it was the right time to do the belts.
