Subject: Re: [MBZ] so Im in Branson right now
Bet Regina is real happy right now. Do you have backup transportation?
Maybe instead of seeing shows, you need to get the SDL running correctly
so
you can get home. Unless you expect that one of us will give you a ride
home...............

Drove the SDL over to branson, will be here all week. The damn thing
started acting up. First in the stop and go traffic it started running
too
hot. The aux fan would not kick in so I assume switch is bad, I just
jumped
it to run all the time, so temp is fine now. Then it started not wanting
to
upshift when it should, and does not want to go into 4th. Then all the
sudden the throttle did not rev the engine. Pulled over, yep, linkage
was
loose. Discovered one of the ball joints totally worn out so it will not
stay on. Ended up taking the cruise linkage off and taking one of the
cheapy
plastic ball joint things and fitting it onto the other linkage. Works
fine
now but still didnt solve my wierd tranny issue. Fluid level is fine,
not
burned or anthing. Almost acts like the kickdown solinoid is stuck.
Which
it could be I suppose. It did this once before a while back but has not
done it since. If you get up to speed if you put it in neutral then back
to
drive it will fall down into 4th. Anyway, stuck here in the tourist
trap,
figuring out which shows are worth going to. Anybody got any ideas?
