Stranded in Lincoln, NE - Jim Owens - 08-10-2005 07:47 We're stranded (temporarily, I hope) in Lincoln, NE after George Witt's parking lot rally. The local truck center replaced the alternator and bracketry and fixed the coolant leak. My wonderful wife had tightened the belt and installed a new gasket on the top radiator hose mount - we made it all of 5 miles before the belts disintegrated and she lost power steering assist. Now we're searching for a replacement for the drag link which the mechanic says is worn beyond adjustment. I gave them Earl Davis'number in Fort Valley, they're working through a Blue Bird Distributor in Kansas. The truck center says they can only order through a supplier they have an account with.... All thoughts, comments and suggestions welcome. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've read the posts about the steering box and loose bolts...bit have not seen this mentioned. George was kind enough to let me use his computer for internet access. Jim & Pam Owens 77 FC33SB (Gas) currently in Lincoln, NE cell 636-485-5156 cell 636 485 5156 |
