yea, that adjustment has what looks like a flatblade to the top of it. A fat flate blade (not wide, but fat...) . So you have to grab it with needle nose pliers IIRC.

hmm, no clue on the lockup, that's a q for the tranny board... or just not me... But that'll hurt you mileage a bit....

I don't take a lot of pictures, unless I need help with something, but I have 3, me after I finally (proudly) got the rear axle out, all by my lonesome, and what i'm working on now, the stereo stuff. Then i'll be done the interior completely, and I can get an axle girdle and put the rear back in (with new bearings probably...)
oh, and the axle is the 3rd pic.

new pics
No, I just turned my manual fan switch off. 180 degree stat, but it runs at 220 because of the fan sensor.


HOLY CRAP nice! Keep me updated!

I suppose theoretically that you would get 60k's to one TANK, IF you had the engine idling in traffic for long enough, but I don't think your journey takes a few hours does it??

Nope. Half an hour with no traffic, hour and a half at most in rush hour. The great thing is that in rush hour all the traffic (well, most) is going north-south, and I am doing east-west.

I was able to go about 100 miles per tank, I gutted my cat and that boosted to 200 miles per tank, no lie. Was a V6 of course.
