We'll be departing Glade Spring, heading back to Houlton, tomorrow morning. We'll probably be in Houlton early in the day Friday. Some of you may remember that my 4 speed transmission started making noise, when under even the slightest load, and I found it to be exactly one quart low. After refilling it to the proper level, the noise abated only slightly but doesn't seem to be getting worse. Since refilling it, we've put a little over 1,500 miles on it including a trip to Hunting Island, SC (just below Charleston, SC). Anyway, shortly after arriving in Maine, I'll take the tranny out of my parts van and put it into "Willow". Wish me luck.
