. . . .

I made an appointment to have the brake booster checked by my local mechanic and on the way over ( a ten mile ride ) the truck started to backfire and lost almost all it's power on hills. It ended up drifting into his shop with a stalled engine. He listened to it and thinks it's a broken exhaust spring ( the original engine has 198,000 miles on it and we don't think it's been rebuilt ) He'll check out the brake booster to see what's wrong with it and "T R Y" to put the wheel covers on while it's there !!! I guess the engine rebuild isn't going to make it to next summer !!!
