The verdict? No Problems... the temp needle never went past 1/3 of the spectrum... We puttered up pretty slow... turning off the overdrive and revving at around 3'000 at around 60 - 65km/h on the steepest parts (after the tunnel going up from hope).
We had a pretty good load in the van (luggage, camping gear, tools, a massive gazebo / screen tent etc.) and not once did I have to worry about overheating...
So I'm pretty happy about that - although the Van has been good since the major repair job I always worried about doing the Coquihalla run again and never took it up to the cabin again until last Saturday... but it appears that it was unfunded....
Have to admit, though, that I removed the skid-plate for that run... just didn't want to take any chances. I guess I'll be putting it back up again come the Fall season with temperatures not approaching the high twenties or low thirties...
Anyway... that's my little story and I'm sticking to it....
