Power Tech 7000 - "always wanted to know but were afraid to ask"

Yahoo Message Number: 62254
In talking to PT's tech in FL today I found that they do sell a engine water temp and oil pressure guage for the 3 cyl Kubota. I forgot to ask but I'd also like to have a guage that shows the amount of current draw on the gen at any one time - hey, if I thought of it you know somebody smarter has already marketed one.
After frying my field coil wires in my gen and having Parker Power replace with a new one - I went to get my coach today. They were kind enough to start the gen & both roof airs as they knew I was on the way. After sticking up a few 7/11s on the way to pay my $3k bill we found that the Kubota had overheated again to the safety kill point and barfed about half a gallon of antifreeze on the pavement. I asked the mechanic to spare no effort in finding the problem. I suggested a thorough rad. flush, new thermostat and new v belt for fan in that order. This is a practically new coach 47k mi, under 300 hrs on gen when it toasted but it's a '97 model. I know the former owner just didn't use it much at all and when he did it was in S CA. The PT tech agreed with me - said that's about all it could be and that the rad. was plenty large enough to handle a full load in this nasty 100+ degree TX weather. I know I'll have to hit some new 7/11s to try to pick it up again but I hope they remove the rad. so it can be vatted out like we did in the old days - may be a plastic tank but if it's brass we used to have the top tank taken off and have it "rodded out" or what the H - just put a new one in??? I need another xanax!!!!! bojangles5169
