Wow. Blew the radiator Tuesday around 4. Refilled and limped to Exit 50A turned right into a small parking lot near the rear of the lot.

Called Dana for radiator part numbers, then Craig. He was very helpful, found me a friend at a radiator shop in Columbus. I had the radiator delivered to me at 1030 Wed morning! Great price too!

I was not sure if I could get someone to install it. People who do that are always busy. I started removing things in the way, figuring that would need to be done either way. By 430 on Wednesday it started raining, but I had the old radiator down to the frame and the end in sight. Figured I could finish it myself.

Rained off and on all day Thursday but I worked between bouts and got the old rad out, frames apart, new rad into frame and back into the coach by about 7 pm. I filled the coolant system but still had to install charge air cooler and oil cooler.

Got started Friday am about 8. All done by 930. Running and ready to go by 10. Drove home with no further incident...

If not for the rain I would have been done and home on Thursday. Pulled in Tues afternoon, left Friday morning. Sat for three nights with no problems. No one even talked to us.

NOW the Florida 20/21 trip is finally over. Tooling Along Thumbs Up
