Subject:      Fun Bus Trip report
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


So Fun Bus just made the trip from New York down to Florida. At 264.6K it is
experiencing some drive line issues. The transmission is howling especially
at speeds between 70-75 mph. In addition I think I am experiencing both
drive shaft universal joint issues and maybe a bad VC joint. I get a real
bad vibration between 40-50 mph. But just above that I get a real bad
"shudder" that is load related. Above 60 or so that shudder goes away but
you can tell something is not right. Otherwise the engine is doing just
fine. Guess I need to some investigation before the trip home.  Currently I
am down in South Florida (Homestead). I'll be heading back to Barefoot Bay
probably on Tuesday. The weather down here is a nice comfy  83 and breezy.






Someday!


Dennis
