I have had AC problems in all my cars. But then again I let one run out of oil.


This reminds me of our trip home from Paragon last year.(at Band Camp )


We ran into problems with the fan blades or something and on our way out of the park I decided to blast the heat on my side to help with overheating. When we got back to the campground we turned off the heat and we made it -thanks to BrooklynH2.


Well we left to come home and everything was running fine. We were worried but figured our dealership back home could fix the problem. 6 hours away.


I started getting a little hot but we didn't turn on the AC because of the engine. I started downing the drinks in the cooler and things were okay.


Then my feet couldn't stand being on the floor board so put them in my seat. I was starting to sweat. I expressed concern to Kenny that maybe the engine was overheating. He kept telling me" the temp is fine, a little high but fine"


Then I had to pee ( from all the drinks), Kenny didn't want to jeopardize the engine by turning it off and on and it got really bad so eventually I had to pee in a cup- in the car. But I didn't want to litter so I held on to it.

2 hours into the drive holding a cup of pee and sweating I reached down and touched the floor and you could fry an egg on it. I was gettin worried, and pissed,

We stopped for gas, ditched the pee , and Ken checked the engine. "Looked fine" he said.

Anyway, 5 hours later ( an hour away from home)we discovered that the temp was way up and even though we didn't have it running it emmited the highest temp on the dial the whole way home. The engine did great( kudos to Brooklyn again).


I know you have checked that and it has nothing to do w/ your situation but it just brought back so many memories. I had to share.
