Emory hope you secured that distributer soon after you left. It might have
jared lose and caused a valve to destruct

Emory, Reply unnecessary. Just want you to know we pulling for you that
it's just a buggered up valve or something less serious.
Bummer.

Hope you get back on the road soon. At least get back here by the
balloon roundup... We miss you.

GMCnetter's,
Not to worry about Emery. I know the owner of Lee Truck Center where
Emery is parked and will call him Monday to inform him that the dean of
the GMCnet is in his shop. I'm sure he won't want to be flamed by this
group. BTW, they have worked on my coach with good results.

Personally, I believe this breakdown is related to the ugly U of M tire
cover that Emery has on his rear end.
