On way home
Hi all:
I picked up my coach in Calgary on Monday, departed for home on Tuesday. Engine is running good. Have not used much oil in the first 400 miles. I stopped in Lewistown, MT to spend a couple nights with a friend who has an S.O.B. It got down to 24 degrees last night, but today is a little warmer and no moisture in the area. Everything is fine except I don't have dash heat and I ran into a snow squall that almost had me blinded on the windshield. Fortunately it let up before I had to stop. I'm going to put an electric heater up on the dash to run if I get into something like that again. I think the gate valve is broken, but the shop says they can replace the guts without loosing the coolant. I'll look into that when I get home. We thought maybe there was an air lock, but when we opened the bleed screw on the heater supply line, there was no pressure. The solenoid may not be opening, even though I can hear the clicking sound. Don't have enough time before I leave here to continue the troubleshooting. My infra-red thermometer read 135 degrees on the pump side of the valve and 67 degrees on the return side from the heater. If any of you have any thoughts on this, let me know. Thanks. R.E.
