A good parts department can make all the difference as mentioned. I was into the local one so many times but they had a couple of "mature" guys how really knew their stuff, sometimes without going to the books or computer. Their sevice department on the other hand..............

Only ONE time was I "repremanded" for calling a Company about a job I applied for....The woman said "WE WILL LET YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE PICKED....GOODBYE!!!!!"

Thanks Jay, where have you been?
Just don't have the time to hear the same questions over and over again.
"What size tire can I run?"
"Will a new battery give me more power?"
"Will seafoam cure every problem that I have and will I be able to get rid of all my wrenches?"
"If I add chrome will it stop me from getting stuck?"
"Does the sun rise and set in Palin's ass?"
"Can I put a 12" lift of a gen 2 ranger with a 2.3L and 2wd?"
"Can I put a Pratt and Whitney 18 cylinder double wasp engine into a BII?"
(I may be paraphrasing a bit)

With the new job I just don't have the time. I've also been spending a lot of time up north (Eveleth, Virginia area) and don't bring the computer. I also have been just staying away. I'm finding it difficult to keep things civil at times. There are some people that have a good sense of humor and something meaningful to say. Unfortunately there are some on the other end of the spectrum that hurt my brain to read their dribble. With that being said, I've just been snipping every now and again and will probably continue doing that.
