Default I think my coolant issues (puking) are behind me

I know, never say never, so I'm not going to say I'll never have another coolant issue. I've never had any pump issues and my Limited hasn't puked since September, prior to the filler neck product program replacement. Filler neck was replaced in November. I was hopeful that all was well but was waiting until the hot temps hit again before I felt confident it was completely resolved. I put it through a good test this past week when I rode to the ROT Rally in Austin, TX. Temps were really warm and I was in a lot of stop and go traffic. I even rode in the Friday evening parade, which is all stop and go traffic. Fans came on several times during the ride and stayed on after engine shut down. I checked the overflow bottle and coolant level remained constant. With that, I am now confident the puking issues, at least, are behind me.

Thanks. I was tagged with that name by my riding buddies during all of the puking issues. I liked it so much I decided on this for my vanity plates: PUDDLS

It really hasn't started getting hot yet so keep us informed. Been really nice this summer so far in DFW but that won't last forever.

True. It was 100 degrees in Austin this past Thursday.
