The hot weather of recent
weeks has caused an unusu-
ally large number of cars
being disabled due to some
type of mechanical failure.
Most of the trouble stems
from tire failure and over-
heated engines. Our modern
interstate highways are an
inducement to this type of
difficulty, as we travel at
sustained high speeds and
do not give our tires and
motor a chance to cool down
periodically. I feel however.
that most of this trouble car
be avoided if we will do the
following things before
starting on a trip.
Under-inflation is the pri-
mary culprit in tire failure.
As we all know frictiof
causes heat. The flexing Jr,
an under-inflated tire causes
friction which builds up heat
to the point of tire blow-out.
This can happen even in ex-
pensive new tires. Normal
town driving and short trips
do not necessarily call for
high tire pressures but when
you have your car heavily
loaded and plan to drive al
highway speeds for long dis-
tances, increased tire press
ure is a necessity, l would
recommend at least thirty-
five pounds tire pressure in
your cold tires for vacation
driving. This pressure will
increase as your tires warm
up. This Ls normal and there
is no need to reduce the
pressure as the pressure
goes back down when your
tire cools. Proper tire press-
ure will not prevent all tire
tfoub, le however. 1 have not-
iced many people start trips
With tires that are worn and
tmgafe, Often they will com-
plairl of "bad luck" when
they experience tire failure.
It is better to buy the need-
ed tires before starting, than
to become stranded on a
highway somewhere and be
forced to make a costly
emergency tire purchase.
The overheated motor will
cause loss of your vacation
time and can be very frus-
trating. The causes of over-
heating are varied. A com-
mon one is the heavily load-
ed car with a small motor
towing a trailer. This driver
is going to have trouble un-
der ideal conditions. All
cars experience cooling
trouble when temperatures
"each one hundred plus if
the cooling system isn't in
good condition. Although
you certainly will not need
your heater this summer, a
broken heater hose can
cause you to lose your radi-
ator fluid and your car will
be disabled. Check these as
well as your radiator hoses
periodically. A loose or bad-
ly worn fan belt can cause
engine overheating. A radia-
tor that is partially clogged
with rust, etc. will also
cause overheating by re-
stricting the water flow If
your car runs too warm on
short drives it is certain to
overheat on long drives in
hilly country with hot temp-
eratures. A thermostat that
is not opening properly can
also cause overheating. The
few minutes it will take to
have these items checked is
time well spent and could
)revent costly, time con-
suming breakdowns.

ments, contact Trooper t,ay-
