great, 2 more problems *help please!!!!*
I went out to start my truck today (couldnt drive it to work this morning come some jerk turned off the heat box over night and my truck would barely turn over)
But anyways, it started just fine and I opened the hood to check what kind of batteries I have. Well I call someone to find out who makes interstate batteries (still dont know) and I step back to get away from the running motor, and I see that the truck is leaking anti freeze!
So I get on the ground (which is freaking cold) and it looks like it coming from the area where the hose is clamped onto the radiater on the bottom passenger side.
And, I also need a new belt.
So, I just sold my 81 toyota for $250, I better fix all 3 problems for less then $250. And I gotta get it fixed ASAP cause my family is on their way up here and they are driving it back down to Texas to sell it.
How can I fix the fluid leak and can I buy pre-mixed diesel anti freeze?
right now the temp's are anywhere from -30/25 (North Dakota)

As far as I know Interstate make their own batteries. Darn good ones too. Try tightening the hose clamps on either end of the lower hose to see if due to the extreme cold things might have shrunk and loosened the clamps. I do not know who sells premixed coolant in the "green" stuff. I have only seen the Gold sold as premix. BTW how much are you asking for your truck? PM me if you wish.
