Actually, the coolant gauge read 190 deg, oil presure was good... AC was working fine. We were driving down that 20 mile or so gradual down grade before the state line(no stress) when the crank just failed.
Weird.
It sounded TERRIBLE, but it kept running all the way off the exit and into the hotel parking lot where I shut it down.
Sunk our vacation... but at least delivered the family to a hotel before it died. We could have easily been stranded on the the side of the road out there with 3 kids under 10 years old. So I count my blessings.
The loss of the vehicle is a tough hit right now though.
Ah well.
Chris
