I think I have just had the very besy and the very worst weekend ever.
The excellent was that my youngest enjoyed her 11th birthday

And I finally found the pictures of my old 87 Suburban that I have been searching for

The bad----------------------
My jeep overheated three times
this is where it was running

Sorry the pictures are fuzzy but I was driving down the road at 55-60mph
This is where the temp ended up for most of the drive

Once I got where I was going I had the thermostat replaced with a 160 and pressure washed the radiator, did not help still heated up to the same point.
I decided to limp it home (2 1/2 hours) anyways since I was going to be driving it at night, so I figured I could watch the temp and that it would be alot cooler outside. It was running great and then it started to get really dark (I'm now out in BFE) and I noticed this

Do you see anything except the blue light?
Nope me either, I now have no dash lights, they were working less than a week ago. Now their are not and I have no way really of watching my temp and my speed.
So I used my cell light every once in awhile to check my speed and temp (temp was still running to warm). To make matters worse everything thinks spring has sprung and so I am trying to not run over every mouse, frog, snake, rabbit, coyote, and deer that seems to think the middle of the road is the place to be.
So I really hate to say this but I think my Jeep's days are numbered :eek:, I can not keep pouring money into it, I never had any problems before and especially not over heating until the original motor went bad.
Oh, and to top off the weekend, I also have oil blowing out around the dip stick
So unless something improves George is going to get parked while I think long and hard about what to do with him :(
