RJ, Wow!! What a mouthful! How many of those front seals did you have to eat before GM found out that they had a design flaw in the pump? We should have guessed what was coming when the trucks wouldn't even back off the transports when new. How about those stumbling, hesitating, dying wimpy little 305s? Weren't those a fun kick in the pants? And that broken head bolt on that little 4-pop iron-maiden? Always the same bolt. Yes, those are some bad memories. But, ya know what my friend? We endured, we learned and we worked around it and now in a lot of ways, we are the better for it. It still makes me feel good when I can diagnose a broken sun-gear shell over the phone just by the customer's symptoms.

But, I'd be damned if I'd ever do it again. The tech is at the bottom of the food-chain, no matter from which angle you look at it. Regards, Allan
