Consumer Description

Nothing has happened so far, however it has come to my attention that the grid heater bolt will eventually deteriorate until dropping into the intake and then into the number six cylinder. This could be a serious safety issue for me when pulling our 2970 RL Imagine Travel Trailer that could possibly weigh upwards toward 10,000 pounds fully loaded. We have traveled and likely will again Interstate 75/85 through Atlanta, parts of which has as many as six lanes. In addition to a potentially serious safety issue there would be a considerable repair cost with likely having to spend up to $20,000.00 for a new engine destroyed by a defective bolt in an extremely terrible location, and my truck has only between 50,000 and 60,000 miles on it with this engine being known as a million mile engine.
