Yeah my brother - won't go there. Hurt bad enough when I did the sub-total previously. And again, in-as-much as this truck's pretty much going to be a "lifer" at my house, it's still cheap compared with buying a new Silverado.

Having said that - after driving the poop out of the truck this weekend, it looks like she's going back to my vendor for some minor annoyances: Dripping from the tranny's rear seal, brakes seem to be binding - took my fingerprint off when I touched the rear drum, and the TH350 is making a weird ratcheting noise in the top gear (but not in 1st or 2nd) at speed (60-75).

None of this scares me though - and the little '283' really pulls nicely through traffic.

Mac.
