I just read in another thread in Diesel Discussion that Arther is missed. I did some searching to find out what happened. Iam sad to see an experienced person leave for any reason, this is sort of like an extended family. I have only been here 2 yrs and 8 mo, so still a little green around the ears. wish I could have found this forum back in 1999 when it started.

Arther really helped me understand "How to determine friction Preload" in the differentials. Thank You so much for that bit of information.

I wish you the best is what ever you do, and I hope our paths cross some time in the future.

take care

Charlie
