The saga continues...

Looks like I've also got some leaks on the inside upper part of the finned area on the radiator. Have any of you ever needed to have the rad's repaired? I imagine I'll need to have it pulled. It does need some repairs and a radiator repair is much cheaper than an engine rebuild.

Mike, thanks for all your information. I've check the gauges and they are normal. Hope to pull the coach to an area where I can crawl under it tomorrow to check the tranny location. One other thing about the tranny is that the dash gauge hasn't budged above 120 yet. Could be a bad gauge/sending unit though.

I'm wondering if the lack of heat up front may be related to the radiator leaking? It's a possibility...The VMSpc hasn't shown any increase in engine temp but haven't confirmed how much antifreeze has been lost.

Richard, we had the fluids all changed last year at Newell. The tranny fluid is bright red with no discoloration nor smell.

More to follow tomorrow...
