OK, I finally got the coach running today by adding 10 gallons of fresh gas to the tank, but I haven't added any Seafoam yet. That'll have to wait a week or 2. Checked the air in the tires & pumped the bags up. Now I need to get a wrecker here to pull it forward a bit. With all the rain we've had, the tires sunk into the ground despite boards put under them, so it ain't going anywhere without a tug.I did manage to smoke the tires trying, tho... My son-in-law was impressed that it'd actually spin them, but what does he know... So that's my progress for now.
We installed new calipers & pads, so at least it knocked the rust off the rotors, anyway...
Final verdict: Radiator not leaking, water pump OK, heavy-duty fan works as advertised. Life ain't half bad...

Richard,
I attended advanced electronics training in the Navy at Vallejo, back in
the days when some of the power amplifiers for train and elevation motors
required "tubes". Once, during a learning block exam, one of the questions
was "what kind of gas is used in a thyratron tube. One of the students
couldn't remember, but there on the desk, scratched into the finish, was
"dillagaf"! That had to be the answer so that's what he put in the answer
block.
Do I need to tell you what happened next?
