just got a call, its a part they have to order and will be in tomorrow. It is covered under warranty though so thats a big plus. btw i just noticed the royal purple ad on here. i got a hook up on a vendor for that takes forever to get. anywho she hooked me up with 12 quarts of royal purple!! for 40 bucks. thats cheaper then going to walmart and getting the cheap stuff.

Checking for fluid leaks is part of the TDE tech inspection. We dont want oil on our track.

Bobby you should go to TDE website and print out the tech inspection sheet and have the mechanics do it while they have car up on lift.

Glad to hear it has been diagnosed and is being treated.

Brings to mind a question. Is this a common problem for AP1's ? Not saying for the small demographic we have here, but in general .
