Thank you very much, gentlemen. I appreciate your time, experience, and effort.

I will keep an eye out for that engine manual Howard, and for future reference what year is it and what is the engine model number?

P. S. regarding your 300SDL thanks for the offer but my wife tells me I've got all I can handle for the immedate future; but there does seem to be at least one or two folks in the diesel forum that have expressed an interest in this model recently. Turbodiesel is one I believe. You could give him a shout.
