[AT] Apology for outage

[Mike Sloane]

If you are referring to the IH 6.9L diesel, I believe the only problem 
was cavitation due related to pinholes in the cylinders. Changing the 
antifreeze or adding an additive prevented the problem, and I have a 6.9 
in an '87 F350 with something over 125K that is doing fine. It isn't as 
powerful as the later "Powerstroke" engines, but it is good enough for 
my limited needs.
