Had a coolant line pop off on a Pete 579 at 2am last night

I was hauling a load of produce from Fresno to Bakersfield when the upper radiator hose clamp let go right near the Grapevine. Coolant sprayed everywhere and the temp gauge shot up before I could even pull over. I had to wait for a tow to the nearest shop since I didn't have a spare clamp in my truck. Anyone else carry extra clamps in their rig or am I just unlucky?

You're not unlucky, just unprepared. I keep a bag with extra clamps and a few feet of hose in every truck I drive.

Man, that's a solid setup (wish I'd thought of it sooner).
