Sorry to hear of your troubles Peter, but glad you got it back going. Look at it this way, you won't have a cooling issue next year, or for a good while for that matter.

Sorry about your problem Peter. Glad that you got it fixed.

It sounds just like the problem Bergerson had at RRW. Same symptoms and same solution. The radiators seem to be plugging up due to age. Bergerson's radiator flowed a garden hose without restriction, but when the radiator shop put it to a real test, it failed by a long ways. It would be interesting to know how many gallons per minute need to pass through a radiator to function properly.

As our 7.3's age I'll bet we see more problems like this.

Peter,

I'm glad you have resolved the overheating problem.

Have a safe drive home.

If you want to take me up on my offer Grand Junction is about 10 hrs from my place.

Brotherhood indeed

Glad to have met you even though the circumstances were less than ideal. Good luck with driving the schoolbus home with the kiddos. Next time you are in Denver for a "real" visit instead of a breakdown, look me up.
