I'll second that!!  He has gone above and beyond again.  Daryl stored the
van before and after our trip this winter.   He replaced the oil cooler
adapter o-ring that failed when the van was started by the transport
company here at -20F with 20W50 synthetic oil in it as they were loading it
to ship to his place.  He swapped just the used transmission I had in it
with the one he had rebuilt that I shipped back down to him after the used
one started being hard to get out of fourth gear near the end of our trip
in January.  Now he is diagnosing and fixing the throttle switch which
hopefully will solve the problem so we dont have to spend time dealing with
it when we arrive there Monday.  Not sure I want to see the bill for all of
this but it will be well worth it and I know it will be more than fair.
