Two week quarantine

[GPster]

Well I've waited and I thought it was safe to take the Jeepster out again, It started right up and I was surprised because the new voltage gauge showed only about 9 volts (the gauge might read low) but revving the engine a little caused the needle to rise. No temperature reading but the engine was cold and the oil pressure was 30 so I put it in drive and proceeded to the street. Didn't hear the noise that I thought might be the fan blade hitting (the shorter fan spacer must have done the trick). I only heard the power steering noise on the first turn (this must be when the fan belt jumped). I drove around the block and the got brave. Headed out to the country and put probably 30 miles on it. A half mile from home I had to wait behind a truck  that was looking to cross lanes to get on the road. I noticed a small puff of smoke when he sped up  and I thought his truck engine was "Loading up" from sitting in place so long. Got home and the smoke was coming from under my hood. I don't know why the new gauge didn't show any thing but the engine had boiled out most of it's coolant. The belt had jumped off the pulleys so nothing was turning. I was happy that the fan wasn't making the hitting noise that I had worried about and even though the steering was a little harder I thought nothing of it. Driving was the main thing on my mind and there were no funny noises. Well the engine sucked up three quarts of coolant and the fan blade moved back makes it a little harder to get the belt on. There is one problem that I found now that I got into cruising speed but my fingers are tired so I'll ask about it later. GPster             i
