Thanks for all the input regarding my diesel vanny problems.  Went by and
talked to my mechanic today and he hadn't really had a chance to get into it
yet.  *Looks*  like the timing belt is still there, however the motor
wouldn't turn over soooo, I'm not sure.

I'm also assuming that I didn't overheat it b/c the warning light came on
every time when I started it (so I'm pretty sure that was working OK) and as
soon as my little highway adventure happened I went straight to the back and
pulled the cover - No smoke, No excessive heat or temp on the cover or valve
cover.

Thanks again to all who have helped.  If you have any other ideas please post
them, but the van is in the hands of someone much more capable at fixing than
myself.
