The odometer is stuck at 178989 km and 1/10th km drum spins. Common from what I've read on MUD.
The fuel gauge is grounding or has a broken connection cuz its pegged below E
The amp gauge is......uh..... there.
The temp gauge seems to function perfectly, though who knows at what scale.
The low beam headlights were both working earlier but now the right only works on highbeam.
There is a short somewhere in the right side signal. The rear does not illuminate and that side won't flash.
I get enogh heat up through the floor ( and I do mean THROUGH the floor) that at first I was convinced the heater was on. But its not.
All in all..... perfect!!

Nice pictures. Everytime I take that flight to vancouver and look down at the incredible amount of huge uninhabited mountains on the way Im thinking to myself, "bigfoot could totally live all over the place their and nobody would have a clue!"

Looking like a good trip, never got to drive it myself other than my buddy driving it to the shop for the fluid flush, while I followed him. Sorry did not know about the Odometer or amps... I would say the rad needs a recore.

Oh, no worries Rob, its all good. The odometer is likely just gummed up and can be cleaned to free it up. The amp gauges in these 40 series never really do anything. A volt meter would be more useful.
The rad fluid is a decent green color now, not brown as I think you mentioned in an email. But it should be cooling better than it is I think. I'll get her home where I can try and diagnose over time.
