So I went online found a few garages made some calls and found Competition Auto in Mesa, AZ a group of young engine junkies who know their stuff and they did the job for $900! I was a happy camper and finished my trip with no problems..I HOPE you get good treatment and you're back on the road asap--Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-47857892248184830972011-03-07T06:10:25.724-07:002011-03-07T06:10:25.724-07:00Wow, you never do things half way do you?
