I am home after my 2400 mile trip with the 8.1 running with high temps most of the time. My travels are completed for this year.
I have purchased through a Workhorse distributor a Workhorse water pump and fan clutch and I expect in the next 2 - 3 weeks to have both items installed. I intend to have the engine flushed, new coolant added and the radiator pressure washed (carefully). I am also replacing my lower shroud as I noticed a 7" X 3" hole in the bottom of it. Yep, that's a Workhorse number also.
I probably won't have a status report till April/May 2020 when the weather is warmer and I make my annual trip to Florida.
Again, I thank everyone for their comments and suggestions.
I hope to be able to post some positive news in the spring.
