No worries. DE 3 weeks ago....3rd gear 6500 RPM felt slight vibration and sound of a fouled plug and the rest is history. The oil pan was full stuff. Found a transplant and should have it back next week. Me and Darrell plan on taking it apart to see what happened. I didn't post a thread about it just want to move on and keep driving.

I was inside that house on wheels a few weeks ago and it is sweet. Cummings Diesel power plant with spacious room inside...

Have you hooked up the solar panels yet?
