The show was great, but we all must leave eventually.  Had an amazing meat and taters supper thanks to @Achto, @joebob and Joel and (ta-)Mara!  We filled up at the Madison exit by Camping World, dumped our tanks and stopped at Rest Area 17 for the night.  4 hours and some minutes to home.

@ChubbyMinnow remember when I was saying I enjoy the adventure?  I was just kidding :lol:  I have a massive crack in my radiator.  Good news, is I have a spare about an hour away, if I can figure out how to get it here :banana-wrench:

It’s been found!  @squonk don’t worry as soon as I get home I’ll work on our big video of the show.  (No kids riding tractors of course!)

 

For now, I’ll be pulling the broken one and waiting.  @bds1984 I’m at the Paw Paw TSC if you’re looking to heckle any dirty people today :lol:

End tank broke at the seam. You can see a few ribs popped out just under the hose inlet.

You were pushing some pretty good temps on the way to PA. Those plastic rads don't like that!

i know.  It seamed :eusa-doh: to be running hotter than usual on the way to and from WI.  I had just pulled a pretty big hill when I started smelling something funky.  Shortly after, the low coolant light came on and I was conveniently rolling distance from a highway exit!

Full, bled, started!  Building temp again, we’ll take a short drive for a lunch break and check it again.

Flat tires on the interstate

Tell them about the apprentice that changed the valve stem and how you had to pay for it!

The tire fixer was quite young.  “Joey” at Pomp’s didn’t quite know how to remove a valve stem.  I pulled my knife out, slit the backer off and pulled it out for him.  I figured it would be a lesson he wouldn’t soon forget.  The shop manager told me the valve stem is $8, but to just take care of Joey.  I handed him $50 in 10s and 5s and thanked him for his help.  A few other guys had other to-dos with the repair, so I did what I was told, and hoped he would share the wealth with his buddies.

What is it with you guys and valve stems. I've around vehicles and RV's for almost 50 yrs. and never saw a failure on the road. Might be time for some metal ones.
