Thanks for the compliments (blushing) but I think you guys deserve them also. It just seems like when I got depressed someone would comment or EZ and Squirrel would show up at the house.
I think I proved that someone w/ average mechanical ability can do a repair like this with out the luxury of a garage, a lot of free time and a lump sum of cash. This was done as money, time and weather permitted. Not my first recommendation for doing repairs, but it is possible.
Talking to a VW owner at the pump last night. He asked me "That is a 7.3, not a power stroke, right?"
He said he hates computers. At 192K his goes into limp mode every now and then. He said he wants a nice mechanical diesel!
Oh, I forgot dsblack. If not for him, I would never had pulled the oil pan in frame!
Ack, I forgot Steph!
She never (showed signs of) lost faith in me. She put up with a lot - painting heads and exhaust manifolds in the living room, parts in the living room, dining room and kitchen, stealership runs, grease stains on the kitchen door(fridge, counter, sink), making meals for the guys (yes, Squirreltow survived!), diesel and oil soaked clothes, helping turn wrenches when asked and not to mention my self doubt and rants! 
ya hon!
