Another one bites the dust.
Definitely unfortunate timing with pulling coming soon.

We're waiting to hear, Kevin. With your and Jeremy's engines going down, we're realizing that these engines aren't indestructible. Hope it is an easy and fast fix so you can get on with the pulling season.

Well Mark that seems to be when these engines decide to let go just doing daily driving.
