Next time you're at the dealer, it might be fun to do an "I told you so" and educate them on the switch...

cclive...I am not inclined to be so charitable. But you are right...taking the high road is always better in the long run...although 3 or 4 hours ago I was ready to unleash all kinds of evil on them. I do think I will post in my Pacific NorthWest forum so that other owners can be made aware.

Rick T..I am sure that playing 2nd fiddle is purely a matter of time and circumstance...LOL...Thank You

Talon 90...beef and beer are ALWAYS good...and if you are up or over this way...you will have plenty of both coming your way..

I just posted a complete DIY thread so others won't have to go through what you did. Hopefully it will help the next owner.
