I feel for you - hubby's fuel pump ( 2 months old) went out last Wednesday WHILE I was in the next town scrapping and he had to use my truck for 3 days which put ME out of the loop for 3 days until we had the time to fix it ourselves. I couldn't even use either of my sons cars to scrap since they work 2nd shift.
so, even being a multi car family doesn't help sometimes when you depend on scrapping to make a living I can't imagine if you are a single person losing the use of your vehicle.
heck, no tailgate cables can at least be worked around, but losing coolant is a big issue!
Scrapping is hard on a truck, I've put over $4000.00 into mine before and after using it to scrap. You just never can plan on anything not going wrong, it seems to come with the territory. I have learned to save money by replacing most parts myself but dang, when something DOES go wrong it sucks big time whether you have to send it to the shop or spend the time fixing it yourself because time is money in this business.
Thank god I can at least claim the repairs at tax time to help offset the ''****, this is gonna kill me today to have to spend money losing money today'' blues.
