I had gone to town today and on the way home driving on a gravel road, saw something shinny. Thought it might be a screwdriver or a pin, or something that might puncture a tire. I came to a stop and waited for a moment to let the dust settle and began backing up. After moving a couple car length I noticed an extreme wet spot in the road. As I turned to get to the side of the shinny object I noticed the fluid was following the direction of my travel.
After backing 40-50 feet I opened the door, bent over and picked up what was a screwdriver. I tossed it over the side of the bed into the back.
Had about 1000' to get to the driveway. Transmission seemed to shift Ok, temperature gauge wasn't moving up, so I went on home. In the drive way I left the truck running. As I looked underneath there was no fluids dripping. I popped the hood to see what was happening. Nothing noticeable, everything dry.
Humm, what was that? Then I looked in the bed of the truck. I had placed a 5 gal bucket about 3/4 full of water with a one liter bottle of water floating in the bucket. When I hit the brakes to backup the bucket tipped. It was laying there empty!
Nice!! Nothing to fix.
Some days the bear gets you, some days you get the bear. Today was my day.
