    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Could be a hose, could be the water pump, could be a freeze plug, could be a head gasket. Hope that helps. :popcorn:

    No they shouldn't. I'm supposed to be the strong one on the call. I was freaking crying trying to save her. I couldn't hold it together after the fire department arrived and called her.

    Shit that sucks man.... I don't even know what to say. Keep your head up - you did what you could.

    See that...make fun of my truck breaking down and now you're screwed.

    Sorry to hear your having issues. I will refrain from poking fun, because I know how much it sucks to have a lame truck.

    Curt, you did your job. You did what you are trained for. You put your best effort forth, I am sure of that 110%. Sometimes these things happen, I know it sounds crude. You did everything in your power that could be done.

    She is in a better place now. :pray:

    :lalala: bad time of year to be racking up repair bills.
    I was figuring on doing the belt, pump and seals this spring...Toy's at 86k now
    Stone cold engine, backed out of the garage and I'm left with a trail of coolant in the driveway. Maybe it was pooled up in the skid plate? Toy was fine until this. I hope my mechanic guy is working today and he'll let me pull into his shop to investigate. I grabbed my jug of extra coolant just in case I need to dump some in to get there.

    I am a true believer that she's in Heaven now. I know God has a special heart for little children.

    :( I think seeing kids in bad situations would be the one part of your job that I just couldn't deal with. I'm sure anyone else in your situation would have been crying too...and if they say they wouldn't they're lying
    :( Toy broken

    :( Thanks, hoping its something simple to fix

    I'd be bawling too Curt, tough, tough day brother. I'm a parent and that would break my heart for sure.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Morning everyone.

    Sorry to hear Curt... I hate seeing bad things happen to kids and good people.
    Lisa, hope you can figure out where your leak is coming from. Hopefully it hasn't been slowly leaking for a while and you just noticed it.

    If you weren't crying, there is something wrong. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad we have people like you. Keep your head up. She is in a much better place now.
