Sad Wounded The Puller...

Well it was nice out today and the last nice one for alil bit so I decied to start the puller up and charge the batts since they were completely dead from sitting all winter. Well the truck had other plans... My lucky with vehicle continues But I was being nice to it let it warm up drove around town let it idle while I filled the tank up since I parked it with a half tank. Then I took it around the bypass and did 2 runs from 65 to 90 and got to my exit and when I got to the stop sign I heard bubbles in the heater core... WTF! Get home wasnt thinking about it park it in the driveway while I fold the mirrors back in and notice a trail. still didnt think anything about it since the roads were wet. Pull the truck in the garage and get out to make sure the sled stops clear the door and noctice a good size puddle. Uh oh... Quick run my hand through it and take a smell, ANTIFREEZE SOB! Quick shut it off and pop the hood, everythings wet. Sweet! Took some pics and now I have to find time and money to fix something I didnt wanna do right at the moment but such is life....





FULL!!!

Oil is good for it, keeps it from rusting.
