    Reasonably patient, at least 1/3 cheapskate , I look look and look and look, until I find a good price and good quality , I don't sell anything as a rule , and I pay cash for everything I own, I tend to give away parts to guys who need them if I don't, Mark in Maine is a fantastic asset. We...

    Got pulled over today. Smoke Issue

    Nice to hear you got it fixed, I would surmise from your description that you have an inducer /exducer shaft seal and likely bearing failure.
