Trip report

Just thought I'd let you all know how my once-overheating truck did on its trip to Myrtle Beach, SC this past week. The only word that comes to mind is flawless. Well, I did manage to acquire a flat left front tire on the trip home today (broken valve stem), but other than that, I was amazed by my truck's towing capability. AND....the most important thing is NO overheating symptoms whatsoever. The temp guage never even moved. It was one more hot week down there too. Well over 100 at least three days this past week. I could definitely tell the 7000-lb camper was back there, but it was an extremely smooth ride. Needless to say, I am overjoyed.........

And I'm happy for you! I was having some probs with mine when I pulled my camper too. I had the radiator rodded out and replaced the fan clutch. It's all good now....
