I wish I had something to do with that drive! I haven't been posting alot because I'm still working 2 full time jobs 96 plus hours a week and also running my transmission/rear end business plus offering the gear treatments although my youngest son has become a very valuable asset. He recently got his ase certifications and is taking full advantage of the new hoist we put it the shop,Smitty

I certainly hope you're able to cut your workload in 1/2 by summer, Smitty. That's too much for a man on a continued basis.
