When you get up around 180k miles on a tow vehicle, I guess I could expect major trouble at some point so I guess its time. But I aint gonna get rid of the old girl, shes been too good to me. Looks like its time me and my college buddies took some primers on head gasket repair. I know its not a beginer deal, but realistically the explorer is only worth just more than what it would probably cost to get it done at a shop...and we all could probably use the mechanics experience somewhere down the road.

Don't know if this post serves much purpose at this point, jus' venting I guess. Venting like all that coolant that shoots out around the engine each time I start the old girl up. Guess this limits my fishing for the time being too. Dammit.
