Image Thanks Lippy .. you're a real sweetheart.

With his help I got the old/new heap runnin and air in a kinda flat tire on the nitrovan. At least we know it works. Have the camera plugged in gettin charged and will take pics as soon as the green light comes on. (Bill, if I send to you in email, can you post em?)

Like I said in an earlier post .. don't know what I'd do without y'all.

all depends on the value of the tire in question.. if it's almost done just replace it..... what is the Nitro van Barb?

It has Michelin's and only 43,000 miles (mostly highway driving across country twice). I had a problem with flats on my other van and it turned out to be the wheels. Will take it back to the dealer my next trip to Pittsburgh and have them check it out. I'd better make that trip pretty soon .. :oops: :oops: the inspection stickers expired last October :oops: :oops:

These were never my jobs :evil: :evil: Either was painting, mowing the weeds, pressure washing the boardwalk, changing bad electric plugs, maintenance on the Doo's .... it never ends!! I want a RAISE :lol: :lol:
