Re: rear end, manifold, and engine

Speaking of water in the rear bearing.  If anyone buys a vehicle with a 
trailer hitch they would be advised to check the rear end.  I've known 2 people 
who 
bought trucks and vans that were used for towing boats....both had a rear end 
full of water and worn gears.   When the previous owners had backed down a 
boat ramp they must have been getting the rear of the towing vehicle into the 
water.  Apparently these things aren't made to go under water.
