I would greatly appreciate that if you could. I hope it makes it that long. I am so fuming over this **** today it isn't even funny. This car is realyl starting to piss me off, this is not a good week for **** like this to be happening either.

Your place or should I try and make sure that I can get into the garage at my old house?

My place would be fine, if it can make it there. You can have your little lady drop on by too if she still needs that welding stuff done.

It's ok...it's not the first time I have said that. It did give me a scare about 6 months ago, lights started to flicker, car tried to die for about 10 minutes...then it just went away. Nothing like that has happened since.

Alrighty man, I will give you a call when I get out of work tomorrow. is there and autozone right there to pick up the exchange part after pulling mine or should I grab it and just get a replacement and then return the bad one to them tog et my money back later.

Thanx for the offer on the door we had alot going on this weekend so I just did a quick job on them and put in some new bushings with JB weld packed in to fill in the gaps in the metal. Hopefully it holds until that car gets sold or turned into my winter driver.

Mine was all fine until about 85k then it tanked and the replacement is now doing the same with about 15k on it. Hell I am even runnign an UDP on this one hopeing to strech a little more life out of it but that doens't appear to be working for me.

That really does suck...so you only have 15K on this one, and it is crapping out again??
