Update: Newel held hostage day 78. Almost today! We got a call that they should have everything ready for a test drive by 2 pm. At 4 pm they still had most of the exhaust blankets to lace back on as well as some stainless sheeting in engine compartment. No chance for enogh time to test drive & correct any problems today. I told them to take the time to get it right the first time & we will shoot for Monday. Mechanic is working overtime Saturday so maybe an odd chance for tomorrow. I did see the canister that they told me about but didn't have cam to get a pic. It is basically a "water separator" attached to frame on driver side between tag & egine compartment. It has hoses running to it from "air boxes" on each side of the block. It also has a vent cap on it. It catches drainage oil from the air boxes & should be drained every 2-3K miles. Will still try to post a pic when we get the coach back. Now we start negotiations to smooth my ruffled feathers from the extended delays we've been forced to endure.
