Uh Oh!

Just got a call from the mechanic about the truck and heard those three terrible words, "Upon further inspection...." Those words immediately bring up visions of $$$$. Seems a bolt holding the exhaust manifold to the engine head was broken at the head and they need to try to drill it (the bolt) and back it out. If that fails, they will have to drill the enitre bolt, tap the engine head and they might have to replace the entire head. Sigh.

The truck is five years old and was paid off in June. With 95K miles on it it is starting to show its age. I've had some issues in the past but it's my baby. Hopefully they will have an easy time with the bolt and I'll have her back in the stable by lunch time.
