Re: [ST] Pop goes the...



Randy,

Had the same thing happen to me last summer, around the same mileage. Right
after work too. Everybody was asking me why I was stalled on the onramp
swearing the next day. Sorta embarrasing. Don't know if the replacement I
got is SS, but it ought to be for the price I remember paying.
