My suggestion to Karl (Face Book posting) was to have this man contact Jesse, whom owns Coyote Shuttle. Jesse has a fleet of Vanagons and VW Buses that he uses in his business: http://coyoteshuttle.com/home/ Surf around that site a little, he has fun stuff to look at. He is in the process of converting all his rigs to diesel as he is "the man" in Moab for his bio-diesel "refinery": https://picasaweb.google.com/mtbiker62/JesseSBioFuelRefinery#5731426347356583074 He does all his own maintenance on his vans, and in fact has built the 2

"stretch" vans (they hold 15 people and bikes) and all his engine repair, conversion, etc. But, he probably won't like that I've "outed" him, but he is a very good hearted man and would probably help this man with his Syncro problem, and even know where to find a motor. Can you imagine having a business where you drive numerous vehicles as your primary source of business, and not having to pay one cent for fuel? He gets all his "product" free.
