I have one of those combination generators/power steering pumps that was added to Bear sometime in the past. I plan to take the generator off for repairs sometime in the near future. however, The power steering pump is acting up as well. It has a slow leak, but the main problem is the vibration. If I put my hand on it while running, it is thumping quite hard on every cycle. It is clearly audible and I think it is only a matter of time before it quits altogether. Is there a shop near or far that can work on these?
On a side note, I just completed two days out on location shooting some promos for the upcoming "Extreme Games" to be shown on ESPN. I thought that Bear would only be in a shot or two, but it seems like Bear is in action in almost every scene. Dodge is sponsering the event and they were delighted that the super-heros were driving a Dodge. The Battery went dead just after a car chase, but I brought another battery just in case which saved the day. I will try to post some pictures if anyone is interested in a little drivel.
Best Wishes
