Default Generator radiator fixed

While in Creede I noticed some coolant around the filler neck of the generator radiator. It was about a quart low, but had never overheated. Filled it and when we got home it was low again. Bought a pressure tester on ebay and it wouldn't hold any pressure and could see it leaking around the neck. So last week I got around to pulling it out and having it repaired and cleaned (easy to pull, 2 hoses, 4 bolts) cost about $90. It's running right now with 2 a/c's and showing about 175F where it used to run about 180F, so that's a good thing. I also added an overflow bottle. Thinking of adding one to the 8v92 also.
I would have it done sooner but wanted to get farther through hurricane season in case we needed it.
