Top Off Coolant Warning

[76-1]

I just want to know the answer to the most pressing issue above: Did McMurtry survive the night out in his dead vehicle in sub-zero temperatures?!? ❄️

We can't afford to lose him (said none of the ultra left wingers on the board 😉)...

Here's hoping you made it Murt...⛄️

It’s all too much 😩😩

Ok hear me out. We must have Red Green come to the compound and spend some time with you.

I’d tell you all, but I get the distinct impression that the appetite for this practical information is a bit lacking at the moment.

If you really want to have some fun, replace the oil pressure sensor on an 06 Silverado. Either pay $$ for a special tool or take the air intake off to get a socket on it.

My inlaws introduced me to Red Green years ago. Pretty funny for a Canadian.

I'm buying stock in duct tape as we speak.

Better bet is ball bearings.

Driving and the light just went on. My God gang. We’re in deep now. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. No one should have to live like this

Now he's off in the ditch because he put the tape on his glasses.
Great idea skippy!

Murt is why mechanics make $40/ hour.

That is contributing to the economy.

It's almost criminal how they design engines so you can't realistically work on them. Sometimes you can't even get the tool.

Step 1 - Turn the car off
Step 2 - wait 15 mins (guys I konw but this Murt)
Step 2.5 - while waiting google what coolant your car takes (acutally you could do all fo this in the Pep Boys/Autozone parking lot)
Step 3 - pop the hood (down by your left foot probably)
Step 4 - find the coolant reservoir (the things that hold the liquids in the engine bay)
Step 5 - It's teh one with the weird color (green, blue, or purple if its German)
Step 6 - is the level below the cold fill line?
Step 7 - If Yes.......fill to max fill line (cold)
Step 8 - If No.....well I have no clue then
Step 8 - Put cap back on. Close hood.

You're welcome.

Or, if you are a complete automotive invalid who needs to tear up their man card (sound familiar Murt?) head to AutoZone, Pep Boys/O'Reilly and go inside and find the gal working behind the counter and explain your plight. They will actually put oil, blinker fluid, coolant, wiper blades, bumper valves, batteries, muffler bearings in/on for you.

Bro just drive it to East Saint Louis and park it , leave it unlocked and running. A few weeks and 1 insurance claim later, problem solved.

Ha a guy I went to high school did that many years ago. Made the insurance claim. They noticed a depo. He called me and asked if that’s normal. I actually knew the head of the captive firm and said hey you’ve got a depo on a property claim. Wtf. Yeah he had someone torch it

Oh. Drop the claim leave him alone?
Once
