I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Heater core replaced two days ago. Immense amount of coolant has suffered a sudden existence failure today. Coincidence?? I SAY THEE NAY!!!!!!

Waiting for it to cool down so I can make it to the Love's to fill it back up. And another day bites the dust.

 

Yeah I'm glad it isn't the fuel pump. I just wish the tech who replaced the heater core had done the job right. I'm hoping that he just didn't burp the system and that there isn't a leak or today's gonna be a loooonnnng day.

The Hot Chick and I agreed last night that I'm not going to do the repair-debt-loan train with these guys; did that for a year at Dart and that's enough for one lifetime.

This thing tries to become a nightmare, they're getting me a new truck. Or Gordon wants me back. I have zero patience for shoddy maintenance; I got a job to do.

 

You would be amazed at some of the car dealer mechanic stories I could tell you from my stint as a sales training manager (who sometimes got tapped for customer relations duty). Stories range from tire rotation minus the lug nut reinstall to an oil change released without an oil filter to a tech going cruising in a customer's BMW (customer had left keys in night deposit box).

I topped off the coolant but still have no heat. Getting a meal and a shower then finishing run and going to shop. My truck gets fixed or replaced or Gordon wants me back. 1800-2000 miles a week is still better than 3 shop visits in a week for the same issue. What burns me is those techs will still get paid this weekend while I'm paying a real price for their ineptitude/carelessness.
