GirlDriver;
We've talked at length before, I recall. If I could free up $9K I'd bring it right down there and babysit your truck until you decided you needed it back. And you would, I promise you. Sooner, rather than later.
But that is wishful thinking, and about 2,000 miles. Here's what I really think about your problem: Stovebolts are different. 20 years after selling, I still wanted mine back. What I got is something close, but bigger, stronger, heavier... and even slower. So I changed the gearing and now I have a workhorse I can run on the highway.
If there is any way to keep the auld girl, do it. Then you won't have to kick yourself around in later years.
