 Sometimes having an old POS is niceNo, I'm not talking about my bronco. I am talking about my '88 F-250. On my way to Justin's house this morning to pick up some metal the heater core decided to start leaking. I thought, Damn this Sucks, it's going to be a pain. I went and bought one for $26 and started looking into replacing it. Pulled the glove box to look behind it and found an access panel for the heater core. Less than 10 minutes later the heater core is replaced and I'm good to go again. Newer cars take 7 hours or more usually. I guess, today, I'm glad I have an old cheap truck and can deal with bad fuel mileage and slow towing. I'm sure when I'm going up Eisenhower at 40 towing my bronco to Moab I'll be unhappy with my truck again

Re: Sometimes having an old POS is nice Your truck is awesome. I have truck envy. Everyone needs a beater-ish rig with a rack to haul stuff.
