My truck is at Firestone. It seems the problem is a clogged heater core. So they are cleaning and flushing it now. It will probably be around $80 to fix.
When I was on vacation last week I had the intake gasket replaced on the cooling system on my truck. I don’t remember if I used the heater that week as temperatures were in the 70s and weren’t too bad at night. Well this week we had another cold front [...]

I’m sorry. I just can’t do what they want. This isn’t helping keep us from a recession or depression or whatever it is we are headed towards. If I take this money and use it to buy an iPod or camera or whatever I will just be following along with [...]
