I always hate leaving places, but once I get back on the road it feels better. I’m heading to Yakima for a few days but taking the long way along the Columbia river. Part of that is to avoid the traffic and construction on I-90 across the mountains, and part of it is because it’s a prettier drive. Right now I’m in Kelso, WA, and will reach Yakima tomorrow.
For the last 6 weeks or so a tiny amount of fluid has been leaking into the truck passenger compartment. But then it would quit. Maybe a tablespoon’s worth at most. I figured it is likely the heater core, but couldn’t get into my mechanic’s for a few weeks. After about a half hour’s drive today it started leaking a lot. I got it to stop by turning the heater completely off, which I hope works for a while.
To get this fixed, I will need to spend a lot of time and money. I’ll give it a try to find somebody in Yakima that wants to tackle this complex job. In the meantime, I have no heat in my truck.
