Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one since my day has been taken up working on the car…on the way to shoot pool out in Ada, I blew a heater hose and dumped all of the coolant out on the ground 10 miles outside of Muskegon…luckily, I had put a gallon of premix in the trunk so I was able to get it back here with just one stop at a car dealership to get some water…then I spent the afternoon trying to find a special hose and found the only one in Muskegon that cost me 23 bucks and lots of work to put the new one in and replace the temporary fix that I needed to do to be able to drive to get the new hose…and the one that split had a two inch long one in it and dumped all of the coolant on the exhaust, causing huge clouds of white smoke that I can still smell….it’s been that kind of day…but I think it’s fixed…after putting the new hose in, I took it out for a drive where I ran it over 70 for a couple of miles…and just went out to check it to make sure it’s not leaking and it appears I have it installed right…but I did burn my right thumb working on the car when it was still hot…okay, I’ll stop complaining now…it appears the car survived the overheating and I may have been quick enough to shut it off when it got hot…this is the second time I’ve replaced this hose…the last time it just started to seep so I could change it before it failed…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
