Consumer Description

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE GOING TO WORK IN EVERGREEN CO. WHEN SOMETHING BLEW IN THE FRONT OF OUR TRUCK. WE HAD A IMMEDIATE STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE AND MAKE VERY LOUD NOISES. A GARAGE IN EVERGREEN LOOKED AT OUR TRUCK AND TOLD US WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO IT AND SAID NOT TO DRIVE IT TO FAR BECAUSE IT COULD HURT THE ENGINE MORE THAN IT DID. WE WENT AND BOUGHT A COIL AND SPARK PLUG AND WAITED ALL DAY FOR THE GUY TO FIX THE TRUCK. HE SAID WE WERE LUCKY HE HAD A TOOL TO FIX IT BECAUSE HE HAD THE ONLY ONE IN EVERGREEN. HE HAD TO RETHREAD THE BLOCK SO THAT HE COULD PUT THE NEW PLUG AND NEW COIL ON. HE ALSO TOLD US OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM IN EVERGREEN. *JB
