I really appreciate all of the responses I’ve gotten. I’ve never been much of a vehicle mechanic and at 76 I’m even less of a one.
I've never allowed it to go into the red but it has gotten very close to the red on the dash temperature gauge. The 1st time it happened I pulled over, left the engine running, poured some cool water over the radiator and it cooled down. After that I’ve always turn on the dash heat to maximum and have been able to get to the top of the climb before it gets to the red.
Several years ago we entered Yosemite from the east entrance and it has a very long steep climb. The temperature would rise a little bit then I’d hear the fan kick in and the temperature would immediately drop back to normal. I don’t hear the fan kicking in anymore.
I've looked at the U Tubes but can't find any for V10 in a MH.
