Update On My Status In Reno....
Hello Fellow Wanderlodgers:
Luckily for me, I brought along a free round trip plane ticket when I departed for my first cross country road trip in my 83' FC-35. I flew home to NJ a few days ago. My Wanderlodge is still in the Sierra Freightliner (certified by Caterpillar) shop in Reno, Nevada. I just heard from the mechanic who told me, to my relief, that my 3208 engine failure was due to a blown head gasket. Unfortunately, they had to pull the engine completely out of the bus to remove the heads and determine the problem. The labor has already cost me over $3,000. They are going to call me back tomorrow with estimates on how much a new head gasket will cost. The mechanic recommended that I consider replacing the gasket on the other side of the engine as well, now that the entire motor is sitting on a stand. Do you folks recommend I replace the other gasket? Are there any other jobs I should have them do while the engine is out? Special thanks to everyone who responded to my panic e-mails a few weeks ago when the bus first broke down. I do appreciate all the advice and well wishes you sent me. I'll be flying back to Reno once the bus is fixed to resume the long ride home to NJ. Thanks again! I'll keep you all updated. Andy Coleman 83' FC-35 Spring Lake Hts., NJ |
