Been having a go of it lately. Lost a couple of my fur babies this month, so it's been tough enough with that. Wife's car decided the alternator was too good to work anymore, the bearing/pulley detonated and we barely got home by the skin of our teeth and what little juice was left in the battery.
So my Wife's been whipping this thing, not happy with it's current issues but she doesn't go far and I've got it repaired enough she won't have any issues......or so I thought......
She was driving back from lunch at the house; it's maybe a 10 minute drive for her if she hits every light; and she got a little over halfway and noticed the truck started steaming, she got back to work and steam was billowing out from under the hood.
Bless her heart she couldn't get a hold of me at work but when she finally did I hauled ass up to make sure she was okay.
She's okay, a little annoyed but that's to be expected. Scoped it out, didn't see anything but I had my suspicions. They wound up being wrong, popped upper radiator hose. Called and drove all over creation and managed to scrounge a hose next town over. Got it all replaced and the cooling system burped under an incoming storm with crazy lightning and thunder. Truck ran fine, still a little warm but I didn't get it burped all that great so I'll keep an eye on it over the next couple days.
What's that one song? "Wake me up when September ends"? Kinda hits a little too close to home.
