Well I spent parts of the last few days getting my coach ready to go to Mansfield early Wednesday. Typical stuff Grease, air, fix a few things etc. This evening in my hangar, I pronounced it ready to go and headed home.

What is this?

The temp gage says 3/4 scale using the NAPA TS6469 sensor.
By the time I got 11 miles to home it says 7/8 and the oil pressure at an idle is 1/2 normal.

I just parked it in the drive at 11:15 PM and did no diagnosis.

Lot of things it could be:

1. Electrical Have to check alternator voltage
2. Bad connection
3. Bad sensor (NAPA does not stock it.) AZ has the Wells substitute.
4. Thermostat
4. Low on coolant but the low coolant light is not lighted.
5. Blown head gasket. I always think the worse.

I am sure there are many more possibilities.

It is out there cooling off. I am committed tomorrow already. Wednesday I was suppose to leave for Mansfield.

Oh well, we will have to see what is happening. Think I'll get a snack and go to bed.
