Try checking your oil cap, if it has yellow foam in it that's a sure sign it's the head gasket and you'll need to stop driving it and find somewhere to have it fixed. If that's not the problem I think you need to listen to everyone's advice and take it into a mechanic anyway. You have a coolant leak somewhere that needs to be addressed.

Just on the water in the door.

My truck has always had water collecting in the doors (I've had it since '98). It rains, water gets in, I open the door and it pours out the bottom. But if the door stays closed it remains there - or maybe leaks out slowly.

I've always thought it was a "feature".

Should I be worried about this?

But I've never heard it sloshing about even after getting some torrential rain (3 - 4 inches). I think it is far more likely, if you can hear it, to be air trapped in the heater core.

That just means that your doors seals are good and tight.
Open your doors and look at the bottoms of them, you will see the drains, take a flat blade screw driver and poke it in the holes and make sure the are clear.
This goes for everybody.
Do this once a year, more often if you live on a dirt road.

LOL
Is that the same door seal that hangs down onto the sill that I almost trip over when getting out of the truck?

LOL!!
Thats why the water does not drain, the seal blocks the holes when you close the door.

my mechanic couldnt get me in till monday.... I decided to bleed the coolant fluid myself...which i did....by following the link i had been sent. The only confusing part is Im not sure why i was instructed to .buy 3 gallons if no where along in the process do you drain what fluid is already in there. I used maybe half a gallon till it overflowed through the bleed screw, and now I have 2 gallons left. Hope I did it right. Heat is working fine, as it was before, temp gauge is dead even where it always has been. I guess now I wait to see if the sloshing sound is gone? till monday? Thanks for all the advice.

You need 3 gallons when doing a complete cooling system flush and fill, which should be done every 2 years.

Seam, first i would open the offending door and see by opening it and closing it fast if there is infact water in the bottom of the door, you will hear it.
As someone else has already offered take a thin piece metal hacksaw blade or screwdriver and poke it into the bottom drains on the doors, ( if you ever had a window get broken its quite possible that there are glass chunks plugging the drains) BTDT.
This requires the door card be removed and the interior of the door vacuumed out.
Please post your results.
