Thanks for the well wishes everyone. Yea Tom, I got two kids that are going to want affordable trucks, and that means an IDI to start. So when I find a suitable host for this 6.9/C6 I got here, we'll get Matthias fixed up, and then repeat the process for Graham. That truck Tanya found would be up here by now, if it weren't for the fact that spending money on this new rig isn't done yet. I'll have to register it soon, and that means paying the sales tax, which would have bought that truck. I got the state inspection over with already, and all it needed was a light bulb in the 3rd brake light. Heck, I'd have never guessed there were 3 light bulbs in that thing. Yea, I'm behind the curve on all this PSD stuff, but I'll learn it just like the rest of you who went this route before me did. I'm just hoping I learn it by helping others, rather than experiencing it first hand. Thanks to all of you for your kind words, and I appologize for the long explaination. Appearantly it was so long a few missed the name for this beast, the "Moose Wagon". It is true that we can't prevent change. I've held it off for almost 25 years. Now I'll prepare for the next 25 while preserving the past as best I can. Rob, I can't say how it might have been if it were a gasser. Obviously since it was a diesel it was an easier choice. If it were a gasser, I'd have still bought it, with conversion in mind, but probably not for the same money, which then of course means I may not have ended up with it. It may be BS. I dunno.
