My 2002 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner, that I purchased brand new, now has a little over 209,000 miles on it.
My bride was driving it last Saturday when it overheated and stopped, after she had picked up one of our dogs from the groomer.
A friend of mine just happened to come to the Courthouse for early voting just after I had hung up the phone and was starting to go through my helpers list, so after he voted he went to help her and the dog get home. Luckily, the truck started up and he was able to follow her to the house.
The mechanic here at the shop in town put a brand new water pump on it, to the tune of $433. The water pump was less than $90, the coolant was about $25, and the rest was labor.
My guy that I use infrequently for this kind of stuff is, of course, out of the country right now visiting the Philippines.
At least it wasn't anything more serious. Thank goodness!
