    Rolling into last weeks show the temp gauge was going up,found that when I turned the electric fan on it didn't come on, then found damage at the power distribution block in the cab over the battery. There was a lose wire to the fan controller that caused the readout panel & a fuse holder to burn!
    Got a replacement block & all is good with that problem!!

    And then there was the squealing drive belt that has been for way too long, when I ordered the alternator I had a smaller pulley made as I have under drive pulleys , the belt was riding at the bottom = the noise. Changed out pulley from a 2 3/16'' to a 2 11/16'' with corrected grove! Problem fixed!!

    Geesh! That could have been way worse in the end. Glad you caught it.
