I have learned a lot from you guys, unfortunate my learning curve is very steep. After meeting with the mechanic yesterday I feel very confident that he is honest and will do a great job on the truck. Cletis, thanks for offering, if I had done this before I would have certainly taken you up on looking at it. Don't think that you are getting off though, I will probably ask more questions as this process unfolds. I have a lot of decesions to make before we are finished.
Again, thanks all!!
