Wife couldn't take any more of the Mardi GRAS traffic. We stopped off for the night in Mobile. Pics and video to follow! Slowed down to 2000rpm and the temp stays constant at 220F. I will troubleshoot the cooling system when I get home. I will check the oil and coolant and a bunch of other stuff in the morning.

he told me that he stopped at a rest area and with truch running and he under the hood it didnt feel super hot nor did it have any signs of water boiling out or hear any signs that you usually hear from a over heating eng.. the guage could be wrong.. lets see if he chims back with a update

Thanks for posting this Travelogue.
Take it easy and keep her cool.
-5mph will take a little more time... Overheated Multi-Fuel could delay MANY hours & hurt your truck.
Looking forward to your story and video.
Godspeed.

Good job hank, glad to hear u made it safe. I know the weather u drove through was really rough, been getting hit with the same stuff all yesterday. I "was" bummed cause i missed mardi gras this year because im offshore, but after i saw the weather, i was kind of glad to be here. But good job on bringing ur new toy home.
