Engine & Tranny problems 2

[whistles_n_bells]

Ron:

Welcome back to Utah. Didn't you do this last year - Capitol Reef? I
assume you're headed toward Arches (Moab). You'll have a fairly good
drop in elevation (almost 3000' heading up 191 between Monticello and
LaSal Junction. Monticello sits at 7000' - the little ball travels well
at that elevation [] . Have a safe trip.
