If your losing 3 gallons of fluid a day, you gotta see it coming out of someplace! It'd practically be running out of the truck...

Must have one hell of a blown head gasket then... White smoke coming out of the tail pipe? If the water pump was bad itd be running out of the weep hole in the housing.

Is your floorboard soaking wet. Lol. Heater core. Or does it smell like antifreeze when you turn the heater on? That's alot of water though...
