The only time my truck ever failed me was right after my rebuild, i neglected to tighten my lower radiator hose and the pressure worked the hose off the water pump while on the freeway, i was pissed but at least able to get over to the side of the freeway quickly, i found a bottle laying on the side of the freeway and about 1/4 mile from me was a nasty irrigation ditch, i made a number of trips there and back and got enough water in it to take off and stop at the ditch and fill it up. that sucked.

Other than that i just get in and don't worry about anything.
