Hahaha! Peabo, that is great, I am glad that my DIY worked out for ya. And funny as hell about your wife looking at you that way. Yeah my girlfriend was around when i had her all back together. She looked at the dash and goes, "Uppp, ya fobbed up something. You got a christmas tree going on in there!" So when I came back on the site to ask about it, Heackler told me about that trick. Dragged her back to the garage, said watch this and viola! Well what do ya know, the asian man knows how to fix a car. Not bad considering I wasn't given an abacus when I was born!

Job well done. And don't worry about the 20 hours, I am sure all those hours weren't wrench time. Most of it was probably down time and cleaning so no worries. I am sure if you were just going to go straight through you could get it done by the book time.

Also, just curious, what did you think about the DIY! Was it thorough enough? Would you change anything, anything I missed. Sometimes I find myself reading it and I go, "Damn, I shoulda put this part in there." or something like that. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi TwinTurboGTR,

I was able to accomplish everything using the DIY the way it was, so I don't know if I would change anything. I think you did a great job.

Peabo
