Thanks everybody for the advice. I just got home in Colorado. Unfortunately, no vette. I couldn't handle 107 degrees in my black clothes to fix it. Plus, the front tires are very worn and I discovered a nail in the driver front. I just couldn't chance fixing the current problem then breaking down again somwhere else for something else. So I am borrowing my friends truck, and I'm going to rent a trailer from UHaul, and be bck on the road to Plano late tommorow afternoon. It's going to suck, but I just want it back home. Then I an fix whatever needs to be fixed here. I'll let you know how it turns out! Thanks everybody! Tom

Don't forget some ramp extensions and that you will have to remove the front air dam.
