Well , after a looong night of driving I made it to Calgary.A grand total of 1439 KM and 3 tanks of gas to get there.The majority was used up going through the Rockies and climbing the grades that range from 6-12 percent.Of course I was averaging 70 MPH also , and at least 60 MPH up the hills <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />The trooper ran good , lots of power , and actually not as bad as I thought it would be on fuel.Of course it would have been nice having my GPS working properly and I wouldn't have made a couple of wrong turns.And also I did fix the trans shifter linkage , and the swicth so it does start in neutral now as well as park.

The only problem I ran into was just as I was coming into my hotel.The truck overheated and leaked out a bunch of anti freeze from the overflow.I think my delta controller bit the big one.I tested the fan with the wires right to the battery and worked fine.At first I thought it might have been the rad was plugged with all the road crap.My poor truck is covered in salt and sand , could hardly see out the windows half the time with it flying around up there.Anyway , I am limited to tests I can do so not sure how to test the controller itself.I can't see it being the thermostat as that is new , I just put a new one in during the summer.Maybe 20 hours of straight driving was just too much for the controller.I don't think I have the stuff to wire up a switch either to turn it on and off so its not constant on the battery.

Any ideas what I can do so I can still drive without overheating?Its cold here , and can't crawl under the truck for anything either.
