That sounds pretty serious. Engine shut down? Maybe it is a safety feature so you don't fry the engine. I really hope so.
My advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Freightliner and camping World located in Flagstaff to your east. If you have ERS like Coach Net call them and they will have list of repair facilities. We carry a complete set of radiator hoses at all times.
GOOD LUCK

Hi Mr. Wizard,
Sorry to hear of the problems. I too, would replace all hoses after a failure. It is cheap insurance.

Consider a metal replacement tank if available. Hopefully the engine is OK.

I'd be tempted to patch the tank, fill with water just to determine the engine status. I'm not suggesting highway driving.
