Thanks to Tim Fiedler in re the Fiberglas fan issue, about which I was totally unaware. As my coach us in the shop now, this will be an opportune time to check to ensure that the Flex-a-Lite fan has been installed or install it if it hasn't. I view this as a bullet dodged, as I would certainly not want to experience tge disaster that RRadio had while on the road.
Here is my Fan replacement writeup. It is not too hard a job. I took mine out of the bottom after cutting the fan shroud.

If your DDEC computer and sensors are operating correctly, which they probably are if you don't have any error codes, it shouldn't be possible to overheat the engine. In theory the DDEC should reduce power or shut down before the engine gets damaged. I'm not gonna test this theory on my engine of course. I seriously doubt the previous owner of your coach overheated it. He might actually have to use the "Override" button on the dashboard to overheat the engine against the wishes of the DDEC computer. Take the coach to a Detroit Diesel service center and have them read the error codes in the DDEC computer to see if it's ever been overheated. After they tell you it hasn't been overheated forget about all this and enjoy life.  :)  ...unless your fiberglass fan explodes
