$10,000: fix or sell?

[Robert Johannesen]

Mine was the result of a clogged radiator core - It is hard to inspect without removal and taking the top or bottom off. But the new core would have been only$1700 if I had installed it myself. The hose inlets didn't show any buildup.

There are various reasons for overheating. In this case it was a failure somewhere in the alarmstat process to start the fan up at its upper temp, and the solution was known, which was to use the override.

Over on WOG we've been having a long discussion about Coolant temps in the PTs. Tom Warner has been taking the position that you are better off letting the alarmstat do its thing, and I've been arguing for constant override. Greg's terrible situation improves my argument.
