Id rather let a pro deal with it, have a warranty and a little more confidence it’s not going to explode on me! Not to mention it’s freezing up here in the mountains and sucks working on cold steel on freezing day! The shop I’m going to have fix it wants the whole truck in his shop, said it’s a lot easier for him. You’re right about driving it that far, I’ll probably have it towed to the shop, would suck to destroy the whole rear end or have it lock up on me and crash!
Thanks!
