Stupid truck makes me wanna kick it.

Tuesday my wife was in the hospital and on my way there I blew the coolant hose that comes from the front of the head and goes to the metal line that goes to the heater core. Got that fixed local auto parts place is great they had the correct hose in stock. so I got that all fixed and the wife is good now also. Then on wednesday I got the ac charged and working good. Then today I opened the hood cause the belt has been squeaking since the coolant leak. I thought it was just slippery from the coolant but I found the tensioner was bad and the belt was rubbing on it. So today I had to but a belt and a tensioner. Where does it end lol. Well thats what I get for having an old truck but it is still better than a payment and all the expensive headaches that come with a new one .

Yup, answered your own question.

Go ahead and kick it, another advantage of having an old one.

Another great reason. I wouldn't dream about putting 2.5 tons of bait fish in the back of a new $50,000 truck... but an $80,000 one?... that's not as bad

If I had a new truck, I would not throw anything in it, or use it for what it was built for sadly.
