We had a smooth drive to Tyler....left Tom's house on Friday and drove to Benson, AZ....around 160 miles I think....still had 1,000+ miles to go so drove 565 yesterday and around 453 today.....just as we were parking the coach a seal in the water pump expired, and we quickly lost a few gallons of coolant....I drained another 4 gallons quickly into a large bucket to get the coolant level below the pump and stop the leaking. Tom has already helped me locate a possible replacement on Ebay....just have to confirm it is the same configuration as mine.....it is a mechanical, or gear driven pump, but I need to confirm the outlet, and inlet configuration. The ones on Ebay look the same, but will remove tomorrow and confirm part #. All in all, the best place for this failure in your driveway, or in one of a relative in this case! My knowledge base continues to grow.

Thank goodness this did not happen somewhere in West Texas 100 miles from anywhere!
