We made it, finally. No major issues, did have a few minor ones though. First thing this morning I smashed the poo out of my finger, probably gonna loose that nail. Oil leak was found to be a cracked timing cover, more on that when I get some pics. Temp gauge stayed pegged like it was overheating but it wasn't, my guess is the sending unit. Cooling fan clutch is not engaging, so we did the emergency fix and bolted the fan to the clutch as per the TM(sure glad I had that printed out) And ran in to some rain about 80 miles out and we all know how bad the wipers are. Other than those few things I am proud of how well she ran. Oh and I ended up driving it the whole way so my butt is numb and I'm ready for bed.

I think it came from up north somewhere because of all the rust and the use of tire chains which were extremely rusty, and the compartment they were in is full of rust. One of the doors actually fell off because the hinge was rusted through, lucky it was in Csm davis's hand when it happened and not while going down the road.

Actually started a thread about this while you were on your way home. Cam thrust plate or something like that .
