Thanks, Ken.

Gosh what a PITA to read all those on that system: Open each in the list,
then scroll back up to the text area, read a couple of lines, then back
down to, hopefully, the next item in the list, then scroll back up, etc.,
etc.

In GMail, they all line up nice and neatly, in order, displaying only the
text (with hidden quotes if any). Just like reading scrolls (In deference
to those who think we emailers are antiquarians, I started to say 'Dead Sea
Scrolls"). Smile

Ken - I'm not sure what you're looking at. On the forum, for me, all posts are open and displayed sequentially in the order they were submitted. Just scroll down the page and read the entire thread as it occurred. Nothing to open, no confusion as to what happened when. Try going to Control Panel and way down at the bottom under Default View choose the one option that doesn't have the word "tree" in it, something like "Flat topic view"

On or the listing you are looking at simply click on the "Flat View" at the top of the list. I do not know if you were signed in as a guest or a real user id. If you are logged in you can change it permanently as described in the previous posting.

David,

I'm just reporting on what I found where Ken B. sent me.

I kind of remembered, from long past experience, that there was a better
display somewhere. But I just couldn't pass up the chance to rib Ken B.
after all the harassment he's given me & other emailers! :-))

A buddy of mine has been on a trip and just called to say he had a bit of an accident, bent a rim and the right rear control arm. I have one that I can send him but I'd have to pull it from the coach after work today, so in the interest of time I thought I'd see if anyone had one off and ready to go. Last I heard he was in Colorado.

That's all the information I have right now. I know the arms are easy to straighten but I got the impression that wasn't an option. Please PM me or reply here. Thanks - Dave

I talked to our stranded GMCer and he has rounded up a porta power locally so he should be good to go to bend the arm back out. Now however on the other side one of the cones cracked and the bag went flat. He needs a bag and cone..... Man when it rains it pours. Anyone have a loaner?

I have some plastic cones laying around somewhere, but it would take longer to get one to him as it would for him to get a bag and aluminum cones from Jim K. http://www.appliedgmc.com/prod.itml/icOid/1430

You need to get rid of those plastic type cones, there are unsafe and should never be put back on a coach. If the guy has plastic cones on his coach he need to get them of at his earliest possible time. There are plenty of aluminum coans out there and they should be the only one used on the original style air bags. Sorry to be pointed on this but this is a serious safety issue!

Update: My friend found a Porta Power in Billings, Sully had a set of his air bag plates on hand, and two new Firestone bags are being over nighted for delivery tomorrow. So with a little luck he should be back on the road this weekend. Thanks all for suggestions, PM's, and support.

I still have several used "LOANER" air bags with cones that I send out on request. They are not for sale (they were donated to me) but are available to get you going again. Overnight USPS is usually around $25.00 to $30.00 and they can be sent to any Post office "General Delivery" for local pickup if necessary.

Telephone me if needed. My number is on the Black List.
