hatcity Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yesterday, just got off the highway and approached a red light. As i slow down, steam is coming out from the hood. Pull over quick and shut 'er down. Look around for the leak as the engine is covered with coolant. Makethe assumption that the leak is in the front as it is front to back covered. Start the truck quick, see the top radiator hose is broke, shut down.Hose is split in the center. HMMMM. if i can cut the hose in half, can I get the two pipe ends close enough to clamp tight to make it to the yard (about 3 miles)Get it back together. Put some tools away and getting coolant that I carry anyway, when I see a car pull up behind me. Slightly chubby woman heads over to me. First thought-"Are ya broke down?" or "my boyfriend is a mechanic, blah blah"Nope. Walks over and says "It's too hot to be broke down here. God loves you, have a nice day" Hands me a bottle of cold water from the store, turns and gets in her car.All I could say was thank you and have a good day. Sorry, no pics. Had other things to do.However, that red light do have some fine scenery pass thru it 1 Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26159-highway-angelcherub/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to check somethings two/three times standing on the tire.Also, with the toolbox door open, my scrawny ass was about 12 inches from traffic. Had to look over every time i moved.Will have to "break down" there again Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26159-highway-angelcherub/#findComment-128126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

She knew you were already hot and bothered and knew she did not have to work hard to get what she wanted. But you did not put your best foot forward and take it when she was giving you the sign. Tha heck with the traffic....you would have died with a smile on your face. We guys would have sent you some flowers.

Thats better than it being somebodys boot magnet. There are good, kindhearted people left here in this world. randyp Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/26159-highway-angelcherub/#findComment-128193 Share on other sites More sharing options...
