This's what I like about this site. This post has generated a lot of good info in just a few days! [thumbzup] With the TM section, search, and just plain asking, we're all getting better at maintaining these trucks! Ron

I'm thinkin' our Governor aint' no tree hugger! But I'm sure it won't hurt to let him know how we feel about this issue!
