Consumer Description

I HAVE A LOUD TICING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT REAR OF THE ENGINE. WHILE I WAS PULLING MY 5TH WHEEL THE NOISE KEPT GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND HAD LOSS OF POWER. BY THE TIME WE GOT TO THE CAMP GROUND IT SOUNDED LIKE I HAD LOST MY MUFLER. WE TOOK IT TO MUFFLER MAN OF LUDINGTON AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT 4 EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS HAD SHEARED OFF, 2 ON LEFT YEAR AND 2 ON RIGHT REAR OF BOTH MANIFOLDS. THEY TOOK THE MANIFOLDS OFF AND REPLACED ALL THE BOLTS WITH NEW ONES EXCEPT FOR THE VERY LEFT REAR WAS SHEARED OFF FLUSH AND COULD NOT GET A DRILL IN TO DRILL OUT AND TAP. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET THIS OUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE HEAD WHICH WOULD HAVE COST $1000.00. THEY PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AND THE TIC WAS GONE. THIS ONLY COST ME 6 HOURS OF VACATION WITH MY FAMILY AND $200.00. THE TIC HAS RETURNED.*AK
