Actually no. My wife went to see her mom (she's in Holiday Island) and I couldn't take the time off to go with her on that trip. I was able to talk over all my wants over the phone with Brian. When she brought it home, I drove it around the neighborhood and could not believe the difference in the way the truck ran. We might go back in the fall to that part of the world and if we do, I'll be paying Brian a visit, even if it's just to say hello and get another t-shirt.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Thanks everyone. Brian aske me if I wanted to keep the Diode part after he took it out. I looked at him and said, Brian, why would I want to keep something that I drove 600 miles and paying good money to get that out of my trans? He laughed and said some people do want to keep it, for some unknown reasons. lol.

Well Rick, depending the size of it, you could loop it with some string and throw it over your rearview mirror, would make for an interesting conversation piece. At RRE you would be a hit, we don't know what one looks like..

The diode is kinda like having a busted rod or cracked piston laying around your shop after a rebuild. Makes for a good conversation piece.
