Radiator loosing water on a 6.0 is usually the EGR cooler, be careful because it dumps the water in the engine and can cause head gasket issues. You won't get a warning light.

Re: It just quit

it also happens when a screwdriver goes through the radiator, or when a hose pops off because the shop didn't tighten the clamp enough and even when a wire loom comes loose, gets wrapped up in the fan and slashes the radiator fins up

At this rate I'll never need a coolant filter...the fluid is always new.

Sorry, I thought you had just mysteriously lost coolant.
