Box number MLE0 ????
I found an ALF6 DPC 203 on CL one border and a few hours away. Wondering if it's worth taking a chance on. The pic has a bit of rust on the housing which has me concerned about it's viability. Anyone here near Hoquiam WA?

Hi guys, I live in Chelan, I'm on the east side of the Cascades. Google maps says I'm 272 miles from Hoquiam.

LOL
Was this a flood truck or something?
Now that I see all this and know the owner before me had a boat, I wonder if maybe he had an incident at the boat ramp.

You could ask on the Washington forum. What were you thinking have someone local check it out first, make sure it didn't look like the one you have?

Exactly. Don't need two corrosion samples. The photos I took of mine hardly show the reality of it.

Hmm

JUst happens I have a 460 pcm under the bench. How do the housings come apart?

@Tim. My sister lives in Vancouver and will be coming up Thursday to visit. I am hoping to have it organized that she can bring an idm and pcm up and I will send a cab light harness down for another member.
