I can't tell you how fortunate you are to have that garage space and those resources to work on the truck like that. This is one of the reasons why I've always avoided 'wheeling' that hard. I can't afford to be w/o the truck, even for a day or two. And I don't have those resources, so I'd be paying someone else for the repairs. Can you imagine the labor bill alone?! Be sure and thank your old man, or whoever that garage belongs to profusely!

im sure the bill would be 3 times the cost of parts. eek.
