skip, in the numerous posts you have, I have yet to see you mention the year. at least one guy asked.

you aren't getting much interest, when the first obvious question is "what year is the **** thing?"

are you aware that it makes a difference? I don't know what you have been doing to it, but my instinct says the prob is close to the TB.
