Up date on the Craig's Coach

[Gregory OConnor]

Wallace, I have a Stewart Warner trans cooler setup on my 94pt40.
Was this the part that failed on your coach? I know the damage was
unpredictable and I wonder if it would be a prudent measure to
replace the SW part then I send my coach to Bluebird for a radiator
flush. Do you know the cost of the part?

with the coach. We indeed did leave San Antonio today after getting
the reservoir neck repaired. It was actually a pin sized hole which
I took a picture of before it was repaired. I cannot in good
concience complain too loudly about them not finding that because it
was covered by a layer of sthyrofoam which was used to seal it in
place. The prior owner did know somthing was wrong because there was
a low coolant code left on the computer from May 30th; he may not
have told buddy gregg and he may have. Short of having the CIA
torture him I doubt that I will ever know.

others.
