No, I didn't buy at Autozone because theirs was MORE.

Cheapest I found was XL Parts. Amazon was the same, but I would not have it until today.

That does include the core charge of $70.00

The "expensive" version was $405.00.

I actually watched and witnessed each step of the test. I saw the result myself.

So what your saying is your automotive diagnostic skills are on par with a minimum wage worker?

S-L-O-W.

I'm putting exhaust on my truck this weekend and out of town next weekend, but my plan is to have the engine and transmission out early March and have all the brakes completed mid-March. I'm determined to drive it under its own power by, or during, the summer.

Don't give up on it! You'll have the biggest grin on your face when you drive it.

Oh you KNOW it. I want to get it going while my mom and dad are still around. It was the first car I ever owned and they helped me with my down payment for graduation. I actually want to let them drive it once I'm sure it is safe.
