Day two of
our trip home was not quite uneventful, but we managed to put some miles on.
Leaving Yuma Lakes RV resort at 8:20 a.m. we were soon on I-8 heading east.
About halfway between Araby Rd. and the Foothills, a warning came up on the
dash. It said that speed would be reduced to 50 mph, and that there was an
exhaust fluid system fault. I knew that the DEF fluid was full, so I was at a
lost to this problem. When we reached the Foothills, I exited and pulled into a
mall. Where I shut off the truck and tried to add DEF fluid, just in case. I
was able to pour less than a pint into the tank, so knew that wasn’t the
problem.
I decided to get
back on I-8 and head back towards Yuma, to see if the warning came on again. If
it did, there was a Ford dealer that I could go to. After travelling approximately,
the same distance as before, the warning had not reappeared, so we exited and
turned back east to continue on our way.

We made good time to Eloy Az. where we met friends for lunch, Ken and Nancy live year-round in a park near there. It is always great to see them and catch up.
Back on the
road at 1:45 we made our way here to Deming New Mexico. Arizona highways are
rough in places, I-8 not too bad and I-10 not as good. Between the two, I am
giving them a 7 out of 10 rating. In New Mexico, I-10 is much better, and I
will rate it at a 9 out of 10.
That’s our
day from my point of view, check out Pat’s blog, HERE for
the rest of the story. Until the next time, thanks for stopping by.
