What did you do to correct the cooling issues you were having prior to leaving?

No cooling issue

Phil, I don't believe I ever had cooling issues. I had death wobble, which alignment and a big stabilizer control. I also had fuel issues back in the day, but a new tank cleared that up. It has always run really cool, so cool that it used to worry me that the gauge wasn't correct. I actually put a manual temp lead in the radiator and ran it for a long long time just to verify.

As rhino said, the only temp issue is the driver now having hooked up the AC, and no longer being used to the heat.

Phil, you have a better memory than me, I went back to old posts, I was concerned about the elevated temps while towing when I first tried it out. But the elevation from 185 normal to 195 while towing uphill just became something I got comfortable with. It never shoots up, just feels it when it has to downshift uphill for long stretches.
