Quick update - so 3 months, a couple of thousand miles later and no leaks, no overheating.

I drove 2 hours to Giddings and back on Sunday and 5 miles from the house notice my temp gauge climbing. I turned on the heater full blast and equalized the temp, but by the time I got home I had coolant pouring out the truck and hissing and steam from under the intake. I put almost a full gallon of coolant in after the truck cooled down and drove to the mechanic yesterday. He called today, confirmed the bypass hose had ruptured and charged me $100 total for parts and labor. Hopefully that has me covered.

Always an adventure...
