When I was installing the SC duct work I heard the damn thing crack but I had just changed the oil and wasnt going to replace it until my next oil change. I guess I should have fixed it at that time now Im paying to have it done.

Ray: I dont know where Toledo is in relation to Mansfield but you are welcome to come meet us at the restaurant on the 19th. of November, everyone is welcome.

Matt: Sorry to hear about the filler tube

FWIW, there have been a number of guys on Pete's board that have had the same problem. IIRC, the issue is getting at the part to remove it.

Attached is a link from Renntech that has a lot of good info on the subject.

Mike,
Im just going to pay to have it done but thanks for the info.
Now I know what the parts cost and reasonable labor time. Im still wondering if this has anything to do with my vacuum issue. It just doesnt seem like it would.

Funny, I just got off the phone with the shop. They tell me that the wrong part came yesterday and the correct part came today at 3:00 pm. They are working on it now and will call me as soon as it is done. Closed on Saturday so Im sure I wont get it back until Monday. Its been there all week so I guess my fingers are still crossed.
