Hello,
First time mailing to the list, we have been watching for a while and really do appreciate all the great material.
I have a 88 Westy, standard and I don't believe in fact I know the gear oil has never been checked or changed. I know this b/c the fill and drain bolts are what looks like rusted to the casing. I purchased a bottle of "S' Ok" from Vans Automotive and it is okay. Exactly like it sounds. I also have the Empi 17mm transmission drain socket. Man this is a stubborn %&#*@.
On another note I have pulled the fridge to install my new fan hoping this would help any pointers or references I should check such as WebPages or articles. I would like to give I a once over before I put it in. Do these ever need any type of charging? I flipped it on its side in the house and it started dripping something, didn't have any type of odor possibly water?
Last questions, a good place to find out what's happening such as big bus/van events, perhaps a yearly calendar. See we missed Everybus but hope to make it next year. Coming from Texas it takes some planning. Also what other mailing lists might you recommend, possibly a conversion some day once we run the 2.1 down.
Thanks again
