What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

When I flushed the heater core on my '97 a couple weeks ago it was COMPLETELY WORTH IT! It so worked, the temp gauge now moves within like 4 miles of driving and I have heat in the 40F range, more heat output than I've ever had so far... now I need to drain the coolant and fill it with water and the coolant flush and run for a few days then flush the heater core both directions then refill with coolant, I see the end of the tunnel finally, might be able to save the heater core...

My truck trips are limited to the gas station and local stores. I have nothing to travel any real distance in. When the snow starts flying, I have nothing currently capable of driving safely in it. Even if/when I get the green Ranger done, I’m still not going to be able to afford to go anywhere. A vacation would be nice when I get it fixed, but it’s not happening. I couldn’t even make the WV trip TRS just had. The sad truth is I’m not going anywhere in the next 6 months most likely. I’m spending money I don’t have just trying to keep going.

That sucks man. If I knew how to help I would. Would a week of extra hands help enough to matter?
