About 20-30 minutes from it's final resting spot I was sitting on 94 in a traffic jam and watched the temp gauge wind way past 240 degrees. I exited at Golf and as I did I saw the traffic on the highway break wide open. I believe the reason it stalled is that the alternator was not charging the battery. The voltage at the terminals was 7.5 at the roadside. From the time I stopped till the time I got flatbedded home was about 1 hour. Still a fantastic day.
