Short Lived Loved Truck, Fixin to be on her feet
Well lets see I bought my truck a year ago.. and its the first one for me to BOMB so lets just say I'm kinda attached. Like a first GF that you go all the way with ... HAHA
... And a few weeks ago I was driving to school and my truck got hot.. so I knew something was up. Checked it out and thought it was just a cracked freeze plug, but got a closer look and found out that it was the block that cracked. So i tried to stop it with Liquid glass, and then Bars Stop Leak, needless to say they didnt help a bit. My parents Strongly suggested that I seal it and sell it. But first off I'm not that kinda guy, if i did that it would be on my consious forever, maybe im soft hearted but to me that just ain't right. And second i love my truck and it would kill me to sell it. But I found a truck i liked and decieded that if i could stop the leak I would try it. I tried to use high heat temp something or another, and JB weld. Nothing worked, so i called a guy that told me he would weld it and he still has not called me back, Jack ***. My uncle called and told me that he has a block i can use. and my brother has a friend that would change the motor out for $1,000 including swapping the head. So now im on that route driving a pathetic 4 Banger and trying to figure out all this 99 to 02 block stuff because im doing the rebuilding on it. Just I guess telling a Story.. and, this is why im broke LOL... This is soppose to be in show and Tell I think?
