It's been a long road, but she's dead at 175K. Front tranny seal blew as a result of heavy bearing play.

Disco Mike - if you still need that CD player!!! - it's yours for your long time help, just contact me kushner_richard@yahoo.com. I'll even pick up the mail.

I will post the remainder on Used Cars - no abuse intended here, just thanks to all for the great amount of help in enjoying this great truck.
