Slide under the truck and sure enough I have a slow drip of coolant. Guess I need a new water pump, so that's what i'll be getting done Monday. That kills any calls I get for the weekend and my Sunday trash run.
I AM IMPRESSED! and while you may miss a few days, it is better than breaking down, paying for a tow and possibly more damage to your truck. I have a 1998 Silverado, with 118xxx. it is my bread and butter and baby. I am constantly checking everything on it, and my trailer.
So, enjoy a little down time and maybe get a few others things done that have been put off. You may actually be saving more than you would have made, had you not done that "daily maintenance check". my 2. BroJer
