Other than that, the engine (TT) has been fine. Michael D Smith and our only significant engine problem so far, was with the coupler on the alternator. It was defective and I am not sure if it deterioriated while in the "pickled state" but we ended up getting a new one from Continental (at first they refused, and told us we had not warranty) after our engine shop go on the phone and helped out.
