Re[2]: Fans at highway speeds...

     Ahhhhh....  Grasshopper, you are ready....
     
        Tom, truthfully, I was waiting to see who was gonna be the first to 
     point that out.  Actually the fan was windmilling but not enough to 
     pump much coolant.  Belts on and as tight as I could make them while 
     holding the alt with one hand.  I'll snug them tonight, but alls well 
     except for the tardiness to work today.  Actually the whole ordeal 
     took less than an hour.  Helps to know where the parts stores are 
     though!  Even though I paid too much for the belts, I only had to 
     drive about 4 miles from the 'incident' so I was happy to pay a few 
     dollars more.

Ahh.. you missed one very important item, Joel.  You don't need the 
*fan* but you *do* need the WATERPUMP to cycle the coolant!

<grin>  Hey, Landry's the one changing motors out this weekend.. not 
me!  I'll probably just clean the shop (it needs it) and get the Scout 
more "trip worthy" in preparations for a trip west next month... plus 
preparing for a ski trip I have planned for Monday.. so there!  I'm 
takin' her skiing! :-)
