Default Re: It rumbles and grumbles

Dammit Grorge, Gimme something easy, willya? LOL Truth is, that's exactly the kind of stuff I was thinking of too. The big tear down stuff! Fortunately the FW is only 53 lbs. Something like a bent crank or a broken skirt on a piston. There may be a problem with the trans too, but the main issue is the engine.
Thanks, Terry
