Cousin,
I'm grateful for any ideas at this point. Yeah, I
(we- my brother is in town) tested for that too. We
did hear bubbles. I don't know for sure, but I don't
think it's a loose pipe clamp on the rubber lines.
It's embarassing that this is the first time since I
got the truck that it hasn't performed like a champ-
the one weekend family is home. Doh!
