Gavin and Listers:
Beware there are those few wary apprentice/E-2 types
out there that are not so corruptable. We had a new
guy on ship who when sent to the engine room for a
bucket of steam, returned a bit late with a bucket of
hot water and complaints of how long the walk was. It
takes all types.
On a more relevant note, anyone have a spare water
pump for a 302 cid GMC as put in M211/M135 and other
G749 series trucks? Mine decided to lunch a bearing
while road testing recent brake work.
Thanks,
Brian
