Got back to Kelowna form the Coos Bay rally on Thursday night...

The good...the rally was simply the best...the Works (and co.) really know how to do it right, (under statement)
Hanging out with friends, doing the GMC coach thing, eating food fit for the gods, tech sections that create answerers with clarity...that IS as good as it gets,...loved it BIG TIME !!

The bad...had battery recharging issues which pointed to a dead battery and the PD9260 not working...went through the rally borrowing other peoples battery chargers to keep us functional...thank you to Jim Hupy,,,God loves you, and so do we...

The ugly...looks like we may have lost an eng....hope not. The story is that we were "eating" coolant for most of the trip...nothing showing on the ground (nothing)...therefor the only thing I can see is that we have developed a bleed into one or more of the cylinders, which would "burn" off the coolant.
I will pull both heads and have a look at things...god willing, we will need a set of head gaskets, intake gaskets and that is all. I will replace the water pump, thermostat and anything else that seems in trouble.

I have spoken to several good people interested in the stretch...I wont let it go down the road in less than functional working order...

If any of "my new friends" have a theory as to whether there is a coolant stealing fairy or gremlin...now would be a good time to speak up...

Dan...who has some work to do...
