cmayer31 3 Posted January 6, 2010 I wonder what type of oil was used? Seriously though, sorry to hear about the troubles and hopefully you get it up and running soon at a reasonable price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlowDown 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks for all the suggestions. Today I struck a deal with the dealer that saves me a lot of dough. I will likely miss the Primm ride. I may save my marriage too. Just no family vacation this year after my daughter's wedding... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
