Browsing thru page 3 of 3 of this thread has left me a bit dizzy. People do have opinions as is evidenced here.

Just the same, I have DIYed numerous problems, thanks to the many replies made by Steve Brotherton. If it sounds like I'm suckin' up to the man, so be it.

Steve Brotherton - I cannot thank you enough for all the service you've provided us here. I do not repair cars for a living, but I do understand finding/retaining quality personnel and that ain't done catering to "bottom feeders".
