I'll get a radiator in it and flush it out, see what's happens. It was still shifting good, just doing regular maintenance and got an unpleasant surprise.

Sounds like you may have caught it soon enough. Cross your fingers on that one....

Wait, what is this regular maintenance thing that you speak of? It requires beer consumption, right?

Well, I consider that part of all maintenance plans, automotive and personal.

Hey y'all. Been a while, swinging in to say, "Hi."

So I saw this
http://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/cto/5300304851.html seems way too good a deal!

Oh also, anyone interested in a '96 Bronco? Hope to catch up on all the BS soon.

I threw a gas can in the back of my truck to fill up for the generator. As long as I have everything ready for a power outage, it seems that it never goes out.

When it rains it pours. Got the brakes fixed on the Excursion. (the rear that locked up disintegrated the inner pad and one of the pistons in the caliper was nowhere to be found)

Had a backup sensor go out so I ordered some new ones from China. then on the way to work the overhead computer went out so pulled that apart at work and soldered that stupid thing back together.

On a side note I bought a generator last fall because the previous year we lost power a good 10 or more times and we have yet to lose power since. I use the generator to power my saws in the garage just so it gets some use.
