Well, the silly thing seems fine now.  I've got over 500 miles on it and it
behaves beautifully. I really have no idea what the problem was *if any* --
I'm beginning to think I hallucinated the whole thing.  Part of it was my
having gotten used to how a light 7-passenger feels; it's a *lot* different
from the Westy.  That explains why it felt weak, but I haven't a clue about
the rest.  Glory be to God for all things!

Thank you Chief, and others who answered.
