I almost made it Carlisle on Friday. Left the house at 5 AM for about a 3 hour drive. Got just past Harrisburg on 81 when the check gauges light comes on. Look down and the temp is pinned on 230 and the volts are at 12. Pulled over and shut it down within 30 seconds. My gates green fan belt with 500 miles on it is wrapped around the fan. I am thinking should I tow to the hotel I have reserved and get a ride to the fairgrounds and try to find you guys. When I take a closer look I see coolant on the idler pulley. Now I am thinking did the belt put hole in the rad, did I blow a head gasket or is it just a boil over. At that point I said I am not going to take a chance on a quick fix with a 175 mile ride home so I had it towed back to my house so I could take a really good look before driving again. Got it home put on the old belt and so far so good. Try again next year.
