Bruce,

Was that TWO beers-- one for the manifold and one for your???

WAIT-- that would be two beers for you, as I am certain you emptied the beer before donating it to the exhaust manifold.

Ran 250 miles today setting all kinds of crazy codes, but running perfect. Engine speed, several invalid entries, injector driver codes.
Oh well fix the manifold first and go from there. Got 250 more to go. 😬🍺

 Did before I field repaired it, then ran great 350 miles. Still running great getting 8.9 mpg pulling the Jeep. Repair looks to be holding ok.

We'll made it 750 miles. Coach ran great, but setting a bunch of odd codes. One thing at a time exhaust comes apart tomorrow, we'll see what we get into.
