geez, Pete. i haven't been in this thread in a while...sorry to see what happened to Hopper.
sure hope the dealer puts his big boy pants on and takes care of you...it'd be nice if he stepped up, installed a new engine, refunded the cost of the service, AND gave you a rental until Hopper is fixed.
good luck.
