PARAGON has a little shameless behaviour in the past

Haven't heard anything yet. I had a meeting this morning and didn't get it in to the dealer until early afternoon.

I did some research on it myself though and gave the tech something to look for on on the squeal.

I've gone down to about 9mpg, had the squeal sound, rough idle and had the code about random cylinder misfire. I found some tech documents that suggest a bad alternator or power steering pump could create this. I guess a bearing or something going bad and creating extra drag would create this. Also, I have my RPMs increased to about 700 at idle with A/C on with the programmer. This is no longer working and RPMs are at about 500. So, I am wondering if I am on the right track there.

They are going to put it on the test track to see if they can get the rattle/grinding sound again. I am thinking a bearing in the front end.
