You went from your mommy taking care of you and fixing things you screw up to your wife. I’ve basically been taking care of myself since I was 17. I have no family I can call here. I do my best to avoid something stupid happening, like running out of gas. If that bothers you, too bad.

As soon as I figure out how to get the hood open.

It's not a car

Maybe he missed the lack of valve stems.

Damit--I told her to keep that lint trap clean.

 

[Big Arrow Down...D]

Few and far between but still around. Usually pay about 10 cents more per gallon

10? Try 25

I pull my dryer out once a year and give the dryer vent a good cleaning. I also clean the vent to the outside.

Never mind that, what are all those buttons for?

I probably only do it every couple of years but make sure I thoroughly clean the vent hose. That is where the lint really collects.

I was thinking my electric leaf blower would work for that.

I take it apart and reach my arm in to clean out the lint. Then duct tape it back together.

When a car is running hot that usually means it needs either oil or anti-freeze, right?

Probably not oil. It would sound bad and probably stop.

Check your overflow tank, and if low, try to figure out where the leak is. Could also be a bad thermostat.

Oh boy, hope you didn't blow a head gasket.

Look for bubbles in the recovery tank if its a cracked head?

The overflow was empty. I topped off the radiator and put some in the overflow. We will see what happens when my daughter drives it tomorrow.

Recovery tank? Is that the same as the overflow?

Was it making noises like it might be the water pump?

I don’t know. It’s my daughter’s car. She was just saying it was running hot.

White smoke in exhaust, it will use coolant, bubbles in fluid in radiator.

I would open the radiator cap tomorrow morning and see how much is in the radiator.
