Red face Radiator leak!
Walked around front of truck this morning to find coolant running out on driveway! So, I spent this morning swinging in a new rad. Easy swap, but there goes the money for new tires! oh well, atleast i don't have to worry about the rad. anymore!

Whats a new radiator run anyhow? I thought a radiator shop repair would be a less expensive route.

Found a plastic sided one online for $159. Risky.

Perhaps a new job is in order if you can't afford tires. FWIW, Discount price matches web prices.
