For those of you keeping track at home, I’m somewhere called pelican point and I didn’t make it to Great falls yet.
I’m at one of the fishing trail campgrounds and it’s super nice under some shady trees and hopefully that’ll keep her cool a little bit later in the morning while I get some sleep.
She overheated four times, the first time I was pushing it going 70 on the freeway. Then it started to climb and the temperature couldn’t keep up with the load so it overheated and I had to pull over and wait.
It took a long time to cool her down and I’m glad I stopped at that rest stop by 3 forks when you get off of 90 to go up to 15?
I just keep her under 65 unless I’m going downhill at this point right around 60 seems to be how she can run on average Highway ups and downs in this area.
There’s lightning flashing around too. The sky was REALLY red.
It makes sense,, the air is thinner and hotter . Plus the skies are clear, mostly, and it’s so arrid and dry…overheating is a thing. When I lived In Jackson Hole we had to make the trip over the teton pass and damn near every time we’d over heat, along with many other cars n trucks ..those big ole mountains are a real challenge for vehicles..especially a bus. I wonder if you could install a second fan that you could engage manually when it needed it. ? Like under the mid part of the engine. An afterburner of sorts lol
I’m sure it’d help..with a toggle switch.
Anyway…the skies are so pretty…I miss them.
Safe travels ♡♡♡
