I made it here today after some problems with the truck, which will make Missie happy. She really has a dislike for my truck because of the poor fuel mileage and many problems it has. Also that it takes up so much of my time.
So, I left Nashville yesterday morning at 8:00 and drove until about 7:00 which is when it began to overheat. This happened at the Tom’s brook exit of I-81 which was only a half hour away from my cousins house. I made it my cousin’s house after I had let the truck cool off while I ate. The next morning when I got up to start the truck, it wouldn’t, which sucked. I finally got it jumped by having AAA come out and then went to Autozone, which was what I had planned to do in the morning anyway to get a new thermostat. Well, I got the thermostat, had the alternator tested, which failed, so I put on a new alternator and belts. This took me until about 2:00.
Anyway, I drove to PA with no more problems really, until I got here. I got here to my parents house and put the truck in reverse to back into the driveway and it wouldn’t go.
After we went up the hill and turned around, it got parked in the yard and hasn’t move since.
Now fortunately, this couldn’t have happened at a better place. We know some people who will be able to fix it.
Go PA!
