Towing a big coach
#12

We discovered that BOTH axles should have been pulled since this transmission (rear end?) has a locking differential (switch on the dash). This apparently caused damage in the transmission and will need a rebuild. This seems to be a never-ending saga but I do think we are nearing the end. We have found all the damages and have reported them to the tow companies insurance company and have finally heard from their insurance company. I never did get a call directly from the tow company even to say ‘sorry we ruined your vacation and nearly caused a huge accident’...

BTW, the heads are being rebuilt and new gaskets/lifters/sleeves/valve guides (whatever else it needed) are being installed. So the engine will basically be new and the transmission will end up the same... I really miss my coach but it should run/drive great when we are done. I still need to find a decent replacement for the Howard Power Steering system...
