Chris:


I was the list member that sold you that engine and I'm sorry to hear that
it crapped out on you in TURD.  (All scatological references are
intentional.)   It lasted just about the same amount of time for you that it
lasted for me, right around 24 months, which is a crime.


I agree: friends don't let friends drive GEX!
