Towing a big coach
#6

Steve, the coach keeps overheating when we fill up and drive it for about 15 minutes - I don’t want to chance it and blow the engine. The problem is that their is a little ‘L’ shaped brass fitting in the radiator that is a pressure release. The first one blew when we were on our way to Nacogdoches and eventually lost a lot of the coolant. Bernd replaced that and thought the problem was with the thermostat and hoses. They checked everything (I was there watching) they could - pulled the valve cover and adjusted the valves (which it really needed). It would be nice if it were NOT a head gasket but that is the way it is all looking now (we are praying there is another answer) but if it needs to be done Bernd’s is much better than some unknown place by some unknown person in the middle of somewhere unknown...
