still no luck with the belt
After trying several different belts that didn't fit I ran out of time and turned it over to the local shop that is doing the oil, lube, and inspection. Texas requires a safety inspection, photo, scale weight sheet and proof of insurance to apply for a title. So I took it to the local radiator shop (they have the best reputation in this area) for the inspection and told them to replace the belt also.
The LY drives nicer then my old 270 classic did and the engine is much quieter then the old Isuzu diesel was (even with the exhaust leak). The radiator shop will work on the exhaust leak also. It sure is nice to have a real bed (as opposed to a flip lounge). But I do miss the classic Airstream looks.... nobody stops to take pictures of the LY.
I'm looking for a new set of tires. The 8R19.5s are hard to find and expensive. Local Love's truck stop said they could not even mount something that small. So I may have to go to Camping World again. PO has installed 225R70/19.5s which are about an inch shorter.
All in all I think I will like the LY once I get it all sorted out.
