with the 4 hours you are willing to travel you could almost have it done in that amount of time. heck i would see if you get someone to do it with you and save some $. i am always all about saving cash.

Hey Neal..I am in Nashville after next week and would love to hire you to help me do some work to my rig. Noteably my GP's are 12 years old and probably need some work, and I suspect the harnes's under the covers should be inspected. No real starting problems, but winter is coming.

Also, you know anyone in the Middle TN area that can change a mainseal cheap? I don;t have the necessary tools for lifting the motor, but figure in the spring I would liek to fix that leak and since the tranny will be nearly off, might as well ditch the dual mass flywheel and put a LUK kit on.

Please let me know if your interested. Might also get TNDiesel over since I owe him a beer or pop and we all could meet :-)

Regards,

Andy

I would love that. Although for FTE suporters I am free. I will be glad to help and have been wanting a reason to meet tndiesel in person.

Why do you suspect the mainseal? You probably have a leak in the valley

How long will you be in TN???
