I had a very similar problem with my F-250 with 5.8L. After I shut off the truck and let it set over night it would have a small puddle of coolant under it(comming from the back of the engine). After hooking up a pressure tester to locate the leak, I thought it was a rear freese plug. I couldn't see at all behind the flex plate. I later used a mirror and discovered it was comming from the back of the lower intake manifold. Hope this isn't your problem.

It should, but you'll need to call Summit to make sure.

Summit has a great feature you should try. You can search by vehicle model and engine type. Try that. My guess is that you can tell what you've got better than anyone else, I mean its sitting in front of you.
