No go on the turbo right now. I know I couldn't get it done in one day with things the way they are so I just decided to wait till after the camping weekend. Hopefully there won't be a problem....

Truck alone never got over 100*

Truck w/camper ran about 130*

So I am happy with that so far!
Those numbers are perfect, gotta love it....

Morning everyone. Nice day again today.

I think I will be able to make a visit to the camping GTG on Fri, but proably won't be able to stay overnight.

My nieces car has a bad head gasket supposidly yesterday, and I may need to go get it on Friday. She is in Fargo.

I don't really want to change the head gasket on it, lots of work and I have never done a head gasket on any newer vehicles.

Anyone got any ideas on a easy fix, example: egg in the radiator?

It is a chevy Malibu, 2002.

Be careful on that motorcycle. I just went to visit my friend that is in the hospital. He hit a deer on his way home. No he was not wearing his helmet and has a gash on his head to prove it. He is pretty messed up but doing good.

I know there are no gaurauntees but I always try to be careful. Knock on wood but no crashes in 30 years of riding. I always wear my helmet.

Our nephew hit a black bear a number of years ago. He came out with some scrathes and mild road rash, the bike was toast, he could not afford to have the bear hide saved...
