So I go to the yard and drop some iron off. I flipped a desk off the back of the truck It bounces off the tailgate and I snapped a tailgate cable. Ok, I can deal with that, so I call an Autozone by me to get the cable. He has them in stock for my truck, okay cool i'll be up in a hour to grab them. I go up get the cables (for both sides), about a half inch short. Take them back and get refund. So I asked the guy what year they are for he says a 2002, okay I said 2000 on the phone, if you didn't have them why am I here, he just looks at me and says nothing. They can't get them, so his manager tells me to call the dealer. Go to Advanced Auto Parts about a 1/4 mile away, they can't get them either. Okay, whatever so I come home get the number for Pep Boys. They can get them but I have to go to the store, pre-pay for them and he has to order them from Indianapolis. Finally getting somewhere.

I get back to the house, do my daily maintenance check, pop the hood checking the oil. So I get done with the oil and I start it up and stick my head in the motor, I hear something grind about every 15-20 seconds. So I shut the truck off check the radiator and I can't see antifreeze. Slide under the truck and sure enough I have a slow drip of coolant. Guess I need a new water pump, so that's what i'll be getting done Monday. That kills any calls I get for the weekend and my Sunday trash run.
