Found I have a bad block heater element and cord. Also found a lot of coolant coming from hose ends. -5 is starting to take a toll on this ol girl after 8 yrs. Also decided that id check upper radiator hose and found that it was hard :mad: and so I loosen the cap on the system and level came back up to normal. Im not making oil, nor is it milky, but wondering if maybe its time to take her apart and go through her. Im gonna need to shit another vehicle and loose a lot of debt fast

Aww bummer man :(

This cold weather here is taking a toll on my truck too. Hit a patch of black ice and slid off the road and gained a lot of "custom pin striping" plus all the red cinder we use for traction and deicer its wearing out the paint.

Time to look for a winter beater

Yea f the wind. Casper is one of the top 5 windiest cities in the lower 48. By average everyday the wind would be 12.3 mph. Not bad until it's like you say and you have those 60+ for days on end

Today I fixed my rear left seatbelt that my mother broke on new year day. The belt wouldnt retract. Opening it, reverse engineered it and took vids and pictures for next time that stuff happens

Amen to that. If I didn't have a little boy whose mother and her loaded family lived here I'd probably move, but it'd cost me way to much. My gf hates it though
