Check your retarder hoses
I blew a retarder hose last night, stranding me in rural Arkansas and
causing an all night process to get it towed back home to Memphis. All fluid was out of the tranny within a mile, luckilly it happened right at an exit and I was able to coast up the ramp to a safe spot. The retarder was not activated when it gave up. Yet another example of a relatively simple and inexpensive part that can ruin your whole day. If yours are old, you may want to consider a change. Mechanic said it looked like mine had been on there for a long, long time. Scott Forman 86 PT38 Memphis |
