Oh, Kansas. I changed my location to Kansas as misdirection (for the leppercans!) while I was asking questions about some machine I was stalking. But then I couldn't change it back and was stuck. The change seems to have taken this time.
I have fond memories of towing a loaded enclosed trailer through Kansas. Empty flat road that was glassy smooth and easy towing. Sadly, my Dad insisted we take the northern route back, just to save three hundred miles. I was warned but he just wouldn't listen. The mountains of Montana were not kind to my tranny, nor the trans shop in Butte to my wallet. $2750 for the trans and two days of downtime.
Six years later, the low mile rebuild by Butte's Automotive Center was spraying fluid out the front seal. When I called to ask for tips, they were nasty about it. Guess the $2750 rebuild didn't include new seals.
$50 seems a nice deal for a new plate. You sure that isn't just a sticker?
