Toby.....

We look SO forward to seeing your progress, as you
have time, on your Airstream.....but you know where to
come if you need to get away from it:)

Best,

... this new truck of mine (04 3/4, 8.1 Suburban) has a temp gauge
and I would like to know when to start worrying about the temp of the
trans when pulling.

Ed,

From what I have read, your truck will protect itself from overheating due
to towing. It works like this: If the transmission oil gets hot, your
status message indicator will flash a message to the effect "Trans hot;
reduce speed". If you ignore the message, and keep the petal to the metal,
another more ominous message will appear. If you ignore THAT one, the
engine's computer will take matters into it's own hands and quit firing all
eight spark plugs in sequence until the load on the transmission is reduced.

At least that's what I read that applies to my '99 Silverado 2500.

Hi all, 

I figured this would be where to ask about the best place to buy replacement
windows for our 1969 Overlander.  Unfortunately one of our side (large)
windows was broken during our Thanksgiving travels.  Are glass windows
available anywhere or just plexiglass?  Thanks for your help!

Your Overlander should have the oval corner style
aluminum framed windows. As far as i know, these are
available new through Airstream dealers, or you might
try Colaws rv salvage. They have many wrecked
Airstreams with good windows, Measure carefully.
Best wishes!
