DRIVELINE: Ford 460 w/ford transmission
MILES: approx 41000
YEAR: 95/96
BREAKDOWN DESC: While heading out of town for my next RV Vacation to Bristol TN (nascar races, etc)
SYMPTOMS:i got approx 45 miles from home and heard a thump thump - EFFECT: the unit started to shake rattle and roll all over - i thought the cabinets were gonna fall off the wall..
CAUSE - turns out one of the belts let go in one of the brand new perelli tires (when i bought the unit approx 2-3 months earlier, there were 2 tires needing replacement, the deal with the dealer was he would replace those, and i would pay for(with good discount) the other 4... of course specified tires of proper size, load range, etc..
the vehicle was not overloaded, 4 adults, cloths and food for week, full tank of fuel, app 1/2 tank of water, pulling a pontiac sunfire on a dolly...
(ps this was the second tire to go in a week - the first one went as i was leaving the dealer who had just attached the electronics for the dolly - 1/4 tank of fuel, no water, no food clothes or passengers..
