    My Obamacare through my wifes employer is $500.00 a month and is pretty good, She works in the healthcare field and will be good to cover me when I get there. They said it may go down but I'm not betting on that.

    Sharpp on the coolant leak, I'd just tighten everything. It might be a number of small leaks that are burning off before you can trace them. Does your truck have a plastic overflow bottle? The '06 Freightshaker daycab I had, before the Vision road truck, had a leak at the seam on the O/F tank.

    Hopefully its not under the cab...

    Sharpp check the coolant (hard plastic/black ) tubes from the driver side of the block to the air compressor. These are fitted lines and are notorious for the o ring causing leaks. If you end up replacing one, replace both. Cheaper to pay the extre 30.00 in parts to get it all done once rather than losing/recycling the coolant twice.

    For what it's worth, Joanne told me they're getting 75 new trucks in the near future of all makes...FL, PB, KW, and Intl. She might even have said Volvo, but I'm not sure.

    I can't believe that they would snag any more Internationals after all the troubles the Prostars had. Thanks for the scuttlebutt, DD!

    I'm sitting next to a JCT truck right now... Who knows it might be one of you guys... Can you share your truck numbers so if I see you I can wave?? I'm in a white Freightliner with Central Refrigerated logo on the side with a 21116 number and a faded angry bird on the grill (soon to have a lighted Christmas wreath)...

    It's not me. I'm at the Birmingham Freightliner; well, my truck is. I'm in the Birmingham Clarion enjoying a relaxing afternoon! My coolant leak is either in the radiator itself or in the reservoir. I hope to be back on the road tomorrow sometime.

    Such a difference being here in Texas, after just coming out of Washington (with a stop in Pryor, Ok. and another in Rogers, Ar.). I'll be in San Antonio in the am...and hopefully get a load out of Seguin, Tx. heading west...south west that is.
