Stuck in NJ, need survival tips

True about higher prices sometimes, but the yellow pages online can give you leads on repair shops.

 

Be aware a leaking water pump gasket is more than likely a bad water pump.

 

#### it sucks here but i didnt think it was that bad well hey i found another LLP truck he's stuck here we cant get a load till monday so if u up for it were gonna find a bar a strip club or something maybe that'll cheer ya up shoot me a pm or something we're parked between the truck wash and the exit right next to the store

 

Hope things get better but only you can do that, I think every person has had a moment or two where we have to get things out of our system.

 

My thoughts exactly. In a pinch like that, I'd buy a tube of that permatex form-a-gasket. Pull the water pump off, scrape off the old gasket, squeeze a bead of the form-a-gasket on there & put it back together. Top off the antifreeze and you're ready to roll. When you get it back to the shop, you can redo the job with the "proper" gasket...or just leave the tube-o-goo gasket in there for a while if you don't feel like tearing into it again.

I really don't care what happens...I'm not sitting around at the same place for a week anywhere other than the house.

 

yeah, mine leaked when i was up north, and after the weather warmed up, it stopped leaking

but i am still going to replace it, just for GP

 

i have never seen or heard such a thing
