20 yr old Chevy truck hasn't made much heat in a couple of years.
See the temp gauge after a lengthy drive!
Today - decided to send it to the shop for poss. new thermostat, coolant change...and a general "look me over."

Small , family run, shop has a stellar reputation - if a little pricey.
Not much luck with the, also pricey~!, actual Chevrolet dealer in town. So nothing to lose.
My late FIL gave me his truck....when I sold my VW and had taken to the city bus and my KYMCO for work commutes.
Wife said I'd hurt his feelings if I kept refusing it.

New Michelins & plugs, total brakes and lines, and reg. oil changes is all this thing has received for the past 2 decades.
The "engine light" ? Apparently to let me know that engine is still present. Handy!





Seriously - Pops said that the sensor that causes the eng. light had been repaired several times - then he just quit fooling with it since the truck runs fine! It has for me, too.

It'll be nice to have heat this year!
Awaiting call from the boys.....

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.
