Hey y'all, new to forum and gotta say love the posts and getting some great info on travel/gear and all the fun adventures everyone is experiencing.
My question is, I was recently bringing home our new Arctic Fox 811 and pulling a slighly uphill grade and my "limp home" wrench on my 2005 F250 diesel truck came on. I was cruising about 68 mph with cruise on. I took a look at gauges and all temps were within normal operating range. I pulled over and shut truck down, started back up after about 30 seconds and light was gone. Made it the rest of the way home with no problem.
Some details that may help:
truck is a 2005 Ford F250 diesel 4x4 SWB with about 102,000 miles on it. No aftermarket upgrades engine or tranny wise. oversized tires and airbags are it. I bought the truck new in 05 and have never had the light come on. I used to own a weekend warrior toyhauler and never experienced any problems related to warning lights coming on when towing the warrior.
grade was a slight uphill, nothing major. I can't remember my RPMs but I was going about 68 mph on cruise control.
elevation wise I was guessing around 5800' and headed home, which is just shy of 7,000', so with each mile I was going up.
Arctic Fox was empty, just bought and picked it up. Water level said about 1/3 filled, but dealer stated that it was probably not even 1/3 filled. just enough water to make sure everything was flowing properly.
Does anyone know why this light would of turned on? Would it have been because I was in cruise control hauling about 3000 lbs of camper?
Like I said, I am new to this forum so if I have missed any details please ask me? Sorry for the length of post, but this forum seems to be the place to get answers.
Thanks!
