>>>I wonder if the drawings took more time than the repair ?

Heh heh, if I was a mechanic for a living and didn't draw crap for a living, that would prolly be the case!

I was stoked that it worked, and all I got from the girlfriend was "gee that's great". I had to tell somebody that might be interested, so I figured it was a good excuse for a first post on here.

Now I gotta start fixing a few other things on the truck... like the hum coming from the rear end at high speeds (diff low on fluid or old fluid maybe?) and the Mercedes diesel impersonation that the clacking valves are making.
