    Hello From A High Ridgeline in West Virginia

    Wow! You thought that thing was broken into as you apparently did. Too bad you weren't closer to Oregon a lot of them around here with no rot whatsoever. That's crazy!

    Hey thank you, I found that very interesting and enlightening as I own my first Ford diesel. 88 with a 7.3. I do have a question for you if you don't mind.
