Day 1: it was running very, very hot. I checked the fluids and everything was fine. It just did this day 1 with no real explanation. Well, at least not one that I understand but my knowledge about vehicles is limited (okay, non-existent).
Days 2-4: it was fine so I naturally did not give it any more thought. This might have been a mistake.
Day 5: We were on the way home with a detour to get the kids, stopped to get something to eat only to go back to the truck and watch it not start. We were south of Little Rock and stranded. I found someone to give us a jump start and we took off to Wal-mart. I bought a new battery and we took off to move a little further before we stopped for the night. I did not want to replace the battery so late at night but wanted to be prepared. We stopped just north of Little Rock at a hotel and I turned off the engine (it had been running about an hour). The dome light was dim and I knew the engine would not start again. Guess what I have to do tomorrow? Right. Change the battery. I guess it was a good thing that I decided to be prepared.
After being on information overload at the seminar, getting lost in Dallas two or three times (with a GPS), driving the wrong way on a one-way street (aske me later), and all this car trouble, we are just hoping we will make it home tomorrow.
I will keep you posted.
