Keeping the old truck running...

Today was spent working on my 99 dodge 1500. I tried my hand at replaceing the water pump. Something I used to do years ago. After 3 hours of beating a wrench on the fan blade bolt, I put it all together and took it to a shop. $83.00 for parts, $225.00 for labor, plus $16.00 for the wrench I bought for the fan blade nut, and I regained my truck. What a small price to pay for regaining ones sanity. In the words of Danny Glover, I'm gettin to old for this.
