Yep, we were getting ready to leave Tuesday morning. We were all packed up ready to go and Ted checked under the hood. He noticed the radiator reservoir overflow had a funny color. He put a rag in and it wasn't oil. Good news we thought as we had already had that problem once and it was pretty expensive! We called our service guy and he said it was probably diesel fuel in the coolant and we should definitely bring it right in. So off we went 1 1/2 hour drive over to Fontana. He said it was major and so we rented a car and came home.
They found an injector was frozen and one of the two heads had a crack allowing the fuel to get in the coolant (and they don't know which so they replace both of them) at a cost of $5600.00! YIKES. In hindsight, we would have had a nice down payment on a new truck if we had gotten oneat the beginning of the year! So we will start looking at trucks.
We have the rental car so our friend Della suggested we drive over to Petaluma (by San Francisco) to the party we were planning to attend with our RV. We are staying at Bob's (the host) for the weekend! We'll have some wine and some laughs and not think about the truck until Monday!
Thinking of wine and laughter..."Ain't Life Grand!"
