Good info.
Dilavar in all 24 spots...and 7 years to boot

. Steve Weiner seems to agree. It sounds like a bit of a hit in the pocketbook, but broken studs were the reason I start this project.
Even though I am enjoying the rebuild, I would rather be driving. So if I can get 7 years of driving and not rebuilds, than that sounds good to me.
