Friday on my 35min drive to work.... my tranny was acting up, so I pulled over to run it through all the gears. Aftar backing up a few feet i noticed a puddle. did it again, another puddle. I was like 'what the **** now?" Antifreeze all over the highway and my temp guage was well in the red. Yikes! Now what. I am like 15min from home and at least 5 min from the next town. No water in the truck 
.....hmmm. Let it cool down for 20min, turns out there was a park bout 2 min away. made it there and filled rad with water and that took me til town. Lucky for me, my dad was a machanic for many years. he checked it out and all it was was the block heater leaking. Whew! $25 part, free labour and viola, back up and running great. He said, if I would have drove to town I would be shopping for a new motor. Lucky my tranny was acting up. Oh yeah, tranny isn't acting up now neither.
