Report on the Craig's break down in Texas

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Good evening to everyone:

An up date on Wallace and Faye Craig's 95PT42WB breaking down on the way
home from the LSB Rally in Borne Tx.

The transmission, somehow allowed coolant from the series 60 engine to
intermix with the transmission fluid turning the color to tan. Am not sure
what gave way at this point. A rebuilt transmission will be coming from
Allison for the replacement, at a cost I am sure.

Wallace and Faye are safe, Faye is home and Wallace is in San Antonio Tx at
a motel and the Coach is at Stewart Stephenson. It appears that the
transmission will have to be replaced.

Wallace asked me to "thank everyone" who stopped to lend a hand, for him
and as he learns more about the failure, the cause and so forth, he will
keep everyone apprised as to what happened.

Anyone with a Series 60 set up have any problems such as this? The Coach
was not under severe strain. Wallace had just passed a slower vehicle and
his speed got to 75 MPH then as he was slowing, the check engine light,
then the stop engine light came on in that order.

Anyway, until further news,,,,, and again many Thanks for the assistance
along the road from all the fellow Birders who stopped.

Safe travels,
