You guys are so nice. Thanks a lot. I am sorry to hear of all the heartbreak and difficulty. It's so sad. But, selfishly, it helps me to know I'm not the only broken heart in town, and I do know that this stuff is temporary and what lasts is strength, love, knowledge, ability, the good things.
Very perceptive that I am being overwhelmed by DIY. That is so true. I can't bear the thought of having one more task. I just can't handle it. Thanks for noticing that. I think that will change. Right now I just want to get into a car without balky glow plugs and drive in a big protective bubble to whatever it is I am going to do.
The drive train -- it IS a vibrationy thing, a whiny rubbing thing. As I was tracing it, I kept thinking it was the PS pump
pr belt, just something sawing not right. It's definitely more rotationy than RPMy. Not a belt squeal, but an odd belt tension, something I could sort of feel in turns, but not quite. Tension, vibration, whine. The first time I noticed it was after the driveshaft got put back together. I feel it's that. I could be wrong. I probably am. I'm happy to not be feeling it right now.
Thanks, everyone. You're even more awesome than I thought. I really appreciate it so much.
