Deming New Mexico

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.

Putting a new air filter yesterday for the trip home.

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.
