On Thursday the 25th, I took the Ford GPW for a run out, as it hadn't been anywhere since Bowes Railway in June. After collecting my daughter from school, I continued to the petrol station and got a 5 gallon Jerrycan filled for the Dodge. I needed to do some test drives, but the Dodge was almost empty. |

The first test drive following the Dodge engine work didn't quite go as planned. A seven mile local trip still had the Dodge over-heating, reaching 185F by the time I got home. There was obviously more work to do. |

After adding a flush to the radiator and running it on the drive, I gave it a five mile drive to push the flush around the system at a faster rate. On this trip the temperature barely got over 160F and was even seen to drop on occasions. I think I've finally got it running propery again. I just need to drain the flush, rinse and replace the coolant. |
