Thanks man.

Well last week Futral was going over everything and noticed RPM sent a T56 30 spline output shaft and not one for a TR6060 like needed. They sent it back asap and received the new one today. Great service from both companies.

What was the deal with the torn meniscus? Looks like on top of what happened I may have recently tore mine when I twisted my leg on accident one day. Having a MRI next week.

I did the same for over a year and just couldn't take it anymore. It was affecting my daily life with work and stuff so had to get it fixed.

Funny story yet sad AND pathetic........
So I'm getting a DOT physical for my Commercial Driver's license and when asked to squat down (butt to heals) and stand back up, I feel something just tear inside my knee. Sucked it up just so I could get my renewal and then the swelling, limping, and constant pain/irritation begins. Fast forward to X-ray/MRI/surgery now almost a week into healing.
Oh well I made it over 44 years before kneeding my first surgery....LOL

Wow it always seems to be a freak accident like that. So was it a partial tear or full tear and what was the repair like?

Partial tear, three incisions, two for camera viewing, and one to cut and remove both the small piece as well as a tiny cyst.....very swollen, minimal pain (was off the hydros in 3 days) but one of the incisions just will not stop bleeding, kinda sucks but hey, you know nobody gives a hoot...

Dude I dunno...just my luck. Played sports, up until then,..haven't since. Doesn't really bother me but, sometimes when I get down on a knee, for example to change a tire...gettingup...my knee will lock in a bent position. I do know how to pop it back out and get it back in place but...ends up being really tender for a day. Starting to get old to me so,...maybe this year I will do the surgery. Actually, make that next year. I have a half mile event in Jan I wanna do.

On topic....ten rib is the way to go. Nice choice.

I know how you both feel. Wish you all the best.

Yeah had to go 10 rib especially since it's the same price as 8 rib. I'm on vacation/doing rehab back in Michigan so no hurry to get the car done anyway.

factory tanks are plastic. Nothing to worry about there. What I noticed though when I converted to E85...is that is REALLY cleans the tank...so expect some possible sludge build up in the filter(s). Mine had black goop in it(my pre filter) but once the e85 cleaned the tank(which appeared clean by the eye) it was all good.

The only cars I see that have issues with e85...are cars that sit for long periods of time with it in the tank....or let the tank go dry, and let it sit for a while. If you plan to store the car...add an additive to prevent corrosion.

Yeah the cool think about having the sensor is I'll only be on corn when I need it. For the most part it will be on 93.

I don't know if I would call it simple or hard. I will says to do it right it's expensive but gotta pay to play.
