Battery was dead this morning when I tried to go to work. Bought a battery booster from O'Reilly down the street for $104.99. After work went to Advanced auto parts and tested the battery, it tested at 8 Cold Crank Amps (CCA) it should be 650Amps. I got a new battery they discounted $56 because the battery was a CarQuest Plus and they couldn't tell if it was a 2 or 3 year warranty so the total was 79.79. I got a Gold with a 3 year warranty. 123252 miles on the odometer

The top hose on the radiator broke at the T where you fill it, I was nearing Vail summit when it blew. I got a tow for free through my insurance to a Napa about 14 miles away. Got a new top hose and 2 gallons of antifreeze. I replaced the hose, filled the system and burped it in the Napa parking lot then drove home and washed the truck and engine bay. 122433 miles odo

Noticed antifreeze under the truck when I went out to it this morning to install the winter tires. I traced the leak to the radiator flush petcock, it was leaking pretty steady. Took the truck to Just Breaks around the corner and had them just check the o-ring on the petcock. They flushed the whole system and replaced the seals on the petcock. I drove the truck home and the thermostat was spiking so I took the truck back and they burped the system. Drove it around a bit and it seems fine now. On a side note. They didn't let the system cool when they opened the radiator and antifreeze exploded everywhere and they barely wiped it up with a rag. I cleaned it up with dawn when I got home.
