Mine did a very similar thing last summer. After about an hour it would go blank
and then when it cooled off it would restart. Also the comm would become
unserviceable. I bought a C-fan and installed it and it did no good. I pulled
the unit and took it to my avionics shop and they said it was a power supply
issue and it had to go back to Garmin. I paid their flat rate it came back working
fine, I'm not sure but I think it has a new display.

| Subject: | Re: wheels and brakes |
I just went through a little issue with a leaking Cleveland wheel
cylinder. It had some scratches in the bore that were deep enough to allow
a little seep past the o-ring. Fluid never hit the floor but it did
collect on the bottom of the cylinder between services.
I tried a couple times to polish the bore without success. So I looked
into replacing the cylinder and found it had a six week lead time and cost
about $300.
Grove sells wheels, brakes, and cylinders for the 10 for about $900, and
has them in stock. I considered getting the Grove parts just to get flying
again. In the end I got serious about polishing out the scratches and
spent a couple hours with a buffing wheel on a Dremel and was able to make
the thing seal. But only because the alternative was pretty painful.
If I had it to do again I think I'd get the Grove or Matco wheels and
brakes. In the 15-year scenario, you might be able to repair or modify
them easier than Clevelands.

I generally try to do the same. I am a bit of a speed addict, so sometimes i just
push over first, let speed increase a bit then adjust the descent speed with
power.
It is generally right after the push over that i notice the gain in MAP.

Then you have the airspeed increase, altitude decrease, propeller pitch increase
that will also raise MP.

That would be quite a cost savings if the Clevelands were deleted from
the finish kit. They list for around $2300 for the pair.

Thanks Wayne, and others suggestions as well.
This seems like a power supply issue as you've suggested.
I have been chasing intermittent problems with my comm as well and also
recently a problem with my Tru Trak A/P. Tru Trak suggested it didn't seem
like an A/P problem but may have been corrupted signal from the Garmin
somehow. Like all things Murphys Law in aviation, it could only only happen
at the worst possible time (during an approach) so I've pulled the unit and
set it away for a check-up. (I've also installed a cooling fan
in preparation for the units return just in case)

Anyone have any numbers yet on time between main tire replacement and brake
lining replacement?
