Thank you, it's been a long time since I had an engine apart.

When the weather breaks, I'll take it in and see what;s up and get a full lube job and replace all fluids. I have the 5 speed, any problem flushing it out and replacing fluids. I saw where it was advised not to do so with the automatic as stuff would be dislodged and cause problems.

And, did anyone have an opinion on the dual battery set up? Should an aux battery be wired up to the vehicle alternator or charged off line?
