selling and 15K

[Dan Saari]

For various reasons we have decided to sell our Bluebird but before
we did that we wanted to take a trip with our Grandaughter to
Colorado for a month........To make a long story shorter I will try
my best to not ramble.... First of all NEVER take your eye off your
temp. gauge when in the mountains,,if you need to, put a small sticky
on the windshield that says TEMP... on it .... needless to say
because of 3 factors I overheated my 8v92 to the tune of replacing
everthing but the turbo, block and crank and 2 1/2 weeks without the
coach while in Denver being repaired by Stewert and stevenson (very
good reputable firm)
Back to the 3 factors 1. I was over the pass and not as diligent at
watching the temp. 12 miles later I was on the side of the road 2. my
DEDC temp. senser was defective and off by 20 degress which means the
check engine light came on 20 degress higher then intended.. 3.
someone in my coaches past got a hair brained idea or heard of a way
to better balance the cooling flow ( I hear this was not so uncommin
in the 90s) and installed a 2 1/4 in. washer with a 1/4 in. hole in
the middle, and installed it in the wrong location if in fact you
were to do something as stupid as that........

So Boys and Girls LEARN from my mistake,, Even if you have as I did
those other 2 factors that created my overheating... IF I HAD BEEN
WATCHING THE TEMP AND SHUT IT DOWN IN TIME >> I WOULD STILL HAVE MY
15 K....

I,m still selling the coach ( 92 WLWB 40ft.) someones going to get a
hell of a coach with 102 k mile with basically a new motor...

Any Ideas as to the best place to sell it...I would like to see it go
to someone that will enjoy it as much as we have...Let me
know....DAN.

P.S. there might have been a 4th factor ,, broken hose clamp which
broke on the way up the grade or after it overhheated ?????
