110 with the defroster on

["James Lidberg" <jameslidberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Joel, glad you made it OK.

RE: heater/defroster on while it's 100 outside: BTDT !!!!!!!!!! On the trail. Every time I hit the trail.

I am now fixing the problem.

I pulled my entire cooling system out, including all the freeze plugs I could get to.

The interior of the block was pretty clean except near the front I chipped out some hard black gunk, kinda like carbon 
build up.

I think that stuff was over cooked Barr's Leaks. I ground the teeth off a hack saw blade and made a sharp point on it, 
and used that tool to chip away the gunk from around the cylinders.

Anyway, the Scout is getting a new 3 core radiator, new water pump, new freeze plugs, bla bla bla

Should be running this weekend.

I am hoping it will not overheat at slow speeds after all the work.

Then it will get the new A/C system installed.
