Seems directed at FAS. <br> <br> Syncros have to be towed all wheels up or all wheels down unless the center drive shaft is disconnected. Even then with the nose elevated the front transmission bearings can run dry and do some damage. <br> <br> Dennis <br> <br> Sent from my Windows Phone<br> </div> </div> <hr> <span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">From: </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">David Bjorkman</span><br> <span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">Sent: </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">4/16/2012 11:41 AM</span><br> <span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">To: </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM</span><br> <span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Move the Syncro</span><br> <br> <div> <div style="font-family:Arial; color:#000000; font-size:24px"> <div><font size="3" face="Tahoma"><span class="x_misspelled">Hi</span> <span class="x_misspelled"> Jon</span>;</font></div> <div><font size="3" face="Tahoma"><span class="x_misspelled">Diane</span> thinks I'm crazy and should just let you folks take care of it, but I am having a hard time with you sending (paying) someone all this way.

I/we/you pay for the remaining (<span class="x_misspelled">appox</span>.) 40 miles @ $3.00 per mile. Total cost about $120.00. We can work that out. Although I feel I stopped driving as soon as my gauges told me to, maybe I should have noticed the lack of heat sooner. </font></div> <div><font size="3" face="Tahoma"></font> </div> <div><font size="3" face="Tahoma">(2) I can have AAA tow me to the <span class="x_misspelled"> Kennebunkport</span> pike travel <span class="x_misspelled">plaza</span> on the specified day I come to PU the bus. You can have someONE meet me there, trailer the <span class="x_misspelled">syncro</span>, and drive us to you. </font></div> <div><font size="3" face="Tahoma"></font> </div> <div><font size="3" face="Tahoma">Tell me what you want to do.

I think it was wise to have you guys do the job (professionals). I toyed around with just doing it myself, but my time got real tight with all else to do before going out west.
