Was a blast looking forward to next year.... Thanks to everyone who helped with my on going car problems..... Yeah that's us filling up the coolant, keep a good funnel to pour coolant with you. Trust me on this one.
So after some diag back home I found that the coolant fan started pulling to many amps and the adjustable fan control didn't like that. So the fan control started shutting down the coolant fan and caused a temp spike I didn't see it ( adding a warning light to my digital display now for temp and oil pressure) and caused the coolant hose to pop off dumping all the coolant on to the alternator and belt. The alternator belt didn't like the coolant and jumped off the pulley later in the cruise and I was thankful to have a dual gel cell battery system as it used all they had to stall in the Napa parking lot. The batteries got down to 7.2 volts and was still running before stalling at Napa. So I bought a new battery & alternator belt and off we went.....
So long story short..... What a mess, but thanks to everyone who went an extra mile to help us out the cruise was a blast.
