Slobber Tube Fixed The Right Way!

[bumpersbird]

Tom,

I am Kurt Horvath; I live in south central Tennessee

There isn't enough space in cyber space for my issues !!!!!!!!
I'd be happy to compare notes; I've spent way too much time and money
on my toy! By the way we named her, "Indulgence",

I have had overheating problems, a new camshaft, she ran great on 5
cylinders got better mileage than I get now as strange as that
sounds. And so many other things if I didn't love her I'd have shot
her by now. Tranny output shaft seals, a complete front end rebuild,
everything except the kingpins, probably should have done them to.
Water leaks, A/C leaks, Fridge ice maker leaks. Toilet flapper out of
control. 50 amp. switch for genny and land line burn up the morning
we were going to FLA for X=Mass. Alternator I could keep going but,
it's redundant. Oh yes my favorite was B.B.'s idea on how to wire up
the plug for a trailer!

Send me a note if I haven't worked on it yet, I will shortly. I have
no illusions, she is a demanding mistress.

Kurt
