Thanks Terry. As the pic shows, no fuel from the overflow lines.

Thought I'd throw some number around from the trip( we do appreciate numbers here);

Day 1- 511 miles
Day 2- 300 miles
Day 3- 518 miles
Day 4- 427 miles
Day 5- 496 miles
Day 6- 529 miles
Day 7- 372 miles( longest day BY FAR!)

First fill- 1329.9 miles/20.811 gallons= 63.9 mpg
Second fill 923.2 miles/14.269 gallons= 64.7 mpg
Final fill 901.1 miles/??????? gallons
Total trip 3154.2 miles

Final fill will have to wait as I have repairs that will have to be finished before the tired girl will be taken on the road again. I'll try to get it done this week as I'm still going to take the time off. No promises.

P.S. We're having some sever storm weather tonight in honor of me making it home, so I might not be on here very much.

PPS- The temps did come up slower and were easier to manage. I still need to invest in the diesel radiator( larger than the one I have) and heater core. Both will increase the thermal mass of the cooling system.
