Damaged Differential
All:
We left Dallas yesterday evening and spent the night in McAlister, OK. When we crossed the Red River, Shirley noticed a thumping sound. Since my hearing is pretty bad, I didn't hear it for a while. When we departed McAlister this morning, it started getting worse. My diagnosis was either a bad universal joint or a differential beginning to go out. By the time I had moved about 30 miles it was very disturbing. I called Doug Tyler in Dallas at Industrial Automatic Transmission and he referred me to an associate in Tulsa. I wasn't going to make it to Tulsa so he referred me to a couple places, one of which was Interstate Diesel in Henryetta, OK which was about 12 miles up the road. I headed there and Rex confirmed my diagnosis. They checked the u-joints and they were tight. Drained a little oil from the differential and going from a few small pieces of metal on the plug to feeling a piece of a gear in the bottom of the case. They tore it down and a large chunk was gone out of the ring gear and one tooth on the pinion. It is going to Tulsa for re-build early in the morning. Hope to have it back tomorrow evening and be back on the road the day after. Seems like a nice group of guys here. We are camping in front of the shop with the rear up in the air. Hopefully the trip to Oshkosh and beyond will be less eventfull after this. (bg) R.E. (Ron) Marabito, Dallas, TX 92WB40 Moderator camping in Henryetta, OK |

Ron isnt that why Bluebird put those large floor safes in our
coaches its not contagious. You seem to be in good spirits for losing a differential. Was nice that you had some good contacts to get you fast service. tom 1982 FC35 Vernon Center,NY .At 03:49 AM 7/20/2005 +0000, you wrote: >All: > > We left Dallas yesterday evening and spent the night in >McAlister, OK.

Hi Ron; this is Wallace Craig sitting in Duncan Ok waiting on Ralph F to get a
part out of Calif. We are on the way to Oskosh to arrive probably Sunday. My phone is 817 360-8051. I have your cell number and will call when we get in. I have my 18 year old grandson with me and FC is still at home fixing up our new home. Look forward to seeing you and hope you get on the way soon.

I talked with Ron Marabito this morning. He did get the differential
fixed and is back on the road, with lighter pockets. He made it to Oshkosh for the air show and is there now until next Sunday. His DataStorm satellite unit has not been operating correctly so he has been offline and out of touch. He does not expect to be online until sometime after he leaves the air show. Ron said that he has seen John Benham, Wallace Craig and the Pucketts (sp? from SC?) also at Oshkosh with their Birds. Ron said if anyone needs to get in touch with him, call him on his cell phone, which is listed in the Member-to-Member Database.

thanks for Ron's update, Mike. I sent him an email a couple of days ago-
looks like his in box will be flooded. Ernie- 83 PT40 in Texas with new refer installed [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
