Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 07:38:04 EDT Tiny, Have you serviced the transmission? Did the check engine light come on during the vibration? If not then, maybe it's your transmission. I know it sounds crazy but I know of a lot of people that experienced a vibration while driving and they changed out the trans filter and all 12+ quarts of trans fluid by dropping the trans pan and draining the torque converter via drain plug in the converter.

This works great for my boat and bike trailer. I also tow a 30-foot Weekend Warrior Toy hauler. For this, I installed a seven-way connector to the bottom of the bumper near the hitch. I now have both wired and use them regularly. The seven way comes with the bracket that allows easy mounting(two screws) to the bottom of the bumper. It works great and looks good. I think it's alot easier and sturdier than the old four-way into the seven-pin adapter that came with the older models. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm in Orange County, California. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 15:05:58 -0400 From: Ken Payne Subject: ADMIN: Server problems The server was down for an undetermined period of time. The log directory filled up on the system and caused all services which use log files to stop (mail, web, ftp, etc.). The situation has been corrected and safeguards put into place to prevent future occurances. I've been out of commission with a stomach flu for the past two days and was not aware of the problem until this afternoon.

Christian, thanks for the info I am going to do the trans thing Tuesday one question arises from my mechanic it also does the shake thing in neutral and park. I will see what my "Independent" mechanic says Tuesday Thanks For the Help TiNy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2000 22:03:22 -0400 From: Larry Marola Subject: Replacement Fuel Tank. I ordered the 48 gallon fuel tank from Transfer Flow on Monday, 4/24. I hope to have it by 5/5. They were really good to deal with. They recommended a local shop that could do the swap but I decided to do it myself. I ordered the fuel line tool too. The interesting part should be "calibrating" the fuel gauge after the install. The Transfer Flow guy said to put in a few gallons at a time to understand exactly how much fuel is available when the tank is empty, when the low fuel light goes off, at half full, etc. I hadn't considered this so I was glad to get the info. And on the same bit of advice, he said to be sure to turn the ignition key off and on each time I take a reading. It seems there is an anti-slosh program built into the gauge circuit so trying to watch the gauge rise as fuel is added won't work. You have to turn the gauge (key) off and on each time a reading is taken. ------------------------------ End of 97up-list Digest V2000 #62 ********************************* ----------------------------------------------------------....
