I posted my issue in the 7.3 forum, and figured it couldn't hurt to ask here as well.

I am in the Fredericksburg, VA area, and I have a dead X. I would prefer to actually troubleshoot without resorting to throwing parts at her. Anyone? Free beer!

 

Yikes, sorry to hear about the dead truck. It's a shame you aren't closer, I'd be happy to help, but you're a good 420 miles from me.

 

I was going to get one for Christmas, but we bought a trip to Punta Cana instead. The trip is in April, and I hope to have her running by then

If all else fails I will buy one in the next few days, unless the wife wins and makes me take it to the shop -_-
