Motorhome service report

Up early for the trip into town to be there when they open.  After a brief warmup it’s off and UP on I-15 through the Virgin River Gorge.  A Long hard pull coming out of camp with a slightly warm engine.  One of the quirks of this engine setup is the fan runs to cool the turbo intercooler whenever you are above 3,000-3,500 ft. regardless of the engine coolant temperature so.  Getting a real warmup before starting uphill is nearly impossible.  Off we go and guess what, the oil pressure and tach are acting normal this morning.  After discussing the situation with the mechanic and looking at his computer readouts it appears we have a faulty connection powering the ECM(engine control module) and the 6 year old batteries are below par.  So, a couple of new connectors, batteries and hours later we are good to go. Yeah, seemed a whole lot more serious the other day.
